I am currently running a triple-monitor setup under winXP, with an extended desktop that stretches across all three monitors. I like it. I would, however, like to use FreeBSD. So, first off, what hardware (video card) comes to mind for doing triple screens with FreeBSD ? A matrox P750 comes to mind, but when you run it with three screens, they downgrade to 1280x1024, which is bad. I am happy to consider multiple video cards to accomplish this ... at the very least I need 1600x1200 out of each card, preferably 1920x1200 ... Second, what is the support for something like this in XFree86, or x.org ? What I am really looking for is the ability to create virtually sized screens - so instead of having three total (physical) screens that I can maximize windows inside of, I want to split each physical screen in half for a total of 6 virtual screens - so there are six total areas within which I can maximize a window in ... this is something I am really trying to accomplish. thanksy! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
