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,
