The 5.0 doc indicate that it includes XFree86 4.3.0 release which supports this card. When 5.0 is loaded, and i look at the mga driver man page, i get XFree86 4.2.0. Question: I need to be able to use the two monitors separately as two separate units ( not showing the same stuff on both ). 1) Do i need to download 4.3.0 from Xfree86 in order to get this support? If so, Xfree86 4.3.0 is only supported on previous 4.x version of FreeBSD. 2) What is the XFree86Config file supposed to look like in order to implementation dual separate head using the Matrox mga driver. 3) the man page talks about a mga_hal file. Can't find this anywhere? Is this required? 4) do i need to start the xserver in a special way ? 5) can this done using motif mwm? The system does work showing identical info on both screens. I need to get true dual separate heads working. Peter J. Gervais P.O.
