Just curious, but I read somewhere that XFree86 Supports dual monitors... is that correct? If so, and assuming it works under FreeBSD, one solution may be to have the non-19" monitor be the boot monitor and only be used when X starts up...also giving you a larger work area. Again, I may have misunderstood when I saw this point go through one of the lists, so XFree86 might not support dual monitors ...
