That got it. I've now got 2 monitors (a dual head configuration) that are both up and functioning. Now, here's the rub: How do I get the the xinerama monitor spanning function of XFree86 4 to work? I'm running enlightenment-0.16.4 up and running, and the output from the make command shows that it is xinerama-aware... ***Cut-N-Paste*** checking for XineramaQueryExtension in -lXinerama... yes and then it calls -lXinerama in a couple of its cc calls...but how do I get it to span the 2 monitors/allow me to drag apps between them. I am starting windows with "startx +xinerama" is this correct? *sigh* Thanks all, Bryan -- +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | Bryan Albright | bryana@uswest.net | +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | Plumber's sign: "We repair what your husband Fixed." | +------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
