I got them working with gentoo. All it takes is an additional PCI VGA card. It was unstable but fairly usable. Does that sound contradictory? :) I did not use xephyr or xnest. I straight away used the evdev drivers. I don't have the bandwidth to do the same thing with FreeBSD. Moreover I have moved on to other things. regards, Girish
