      I'm  the maintainer of the xperfmon++  port for FreeBSD. The original
   author is to busy  to  do any improvements on  the prog. However it  was
   really hard work to write the system  dependent part new for FreeBSD and
   to fix some bugs concerning the wrong resizing behavior under X11.

       If you want to  add another display you have  to edit a lot of files
   and structures so it's not really easy, but I'm sure it's possible.  Why
   do you need max/min values for the graphs? They are autoscaling!

   Regards

   Lars
