If you use gnome, 2.24's display manager tool will handle it, though it still has some issues. The intel 965 laptop that I was using needed to disable LVDS before it could enable both external displays and that didn't seem to work quite right. It tried to do the right thing, but I still had to mess with the display settings a bit to use the second external display. I didn't get around to looking at the code to fix it though. robert. --=20 Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD --=-Ya2rgQLX0XoU+1fnkTss Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkmQgRsACgkQM4TrQ4qfROMrjACcDw9B9zZFNlstE3qLfFQIRRyc E0UAmwXrF7+7g/A7USVDphaL672UrT1M =HP8L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-Ya2rgQLX0XoU+1fnkTss--
