Slightly weird problem. I'm running a 5.4-current dual-head Xinerama setup= =20 (using two Nvidia FX5500 PCI cards). Powered off my box to move. Powered up= =20 box. Second monitor is now stuck in standby state (appears to be not be=20 receiving signal from the motherboard). Monitor that doesn't work is=20 orginally terminated to card in pci slot#2. Remove all the video cards,=20 throw a single card in pci slot #2, get signal. Throw second video card in= =20 unused slot (try both #1 and #3), second monitor doesn't get signal. I've= =20 verified both monitors are good. Box in question is a Dell Dimension 8400. Dmesg indicates that it detects both cards, xorg config file is good. I've= =20 got the latest video drivers, a and pretty recent Xorg version. I've reset= =20 BIOS, I've verified from what I can tell that FreeBSD isn't doing anything= =20 stupid. Other then thinking it may be a power issue, I'm pretty much=20 stumped.=20 So has anyone seen something similar to this? Many thanks in advance. Cheers, /madley
