[-- Attachment #1 --] We're looking at buying some workstations for our network admins here, and dual head is a plus. We were looking at buying them from hardware.bsdi.com, and then today on Slashdot I saw: ----------------- Matrox has released a beta driver for their G200/G400/G450 which includes support for DualHead and QuadHead (up to 4 monitors), Flat Panel and TV out. This driver is a beta. You can get it here and I mirrored it here. You'll need XFree 4.0.1 in order to use this driver. Please follow the readme file carefully! (the readme file from Matrox's FTP needs to be converted dos2unix). Note: you cannot use the 3D hardware acceleration on the 2nd monitor (yet). ----------------- And of course, I was instantly happy when I saw this.. Has anyone tried these drivers yet in FreeBSD? They look to be the OS-independant XFree86 4.0.1 modules (nothing funky like the NVIDIA ones). They come with some source code, but it appears to be wrappers around a missing HAL (?) library, though I could be wrong. Please forward any successes/failures to the list. -- thomas r. stromberg : tstromberg@rtci.com senior systems administrator : http://www.afterthought.org/ research triangle commerce, inc. : 1.919.657.1317 [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE5nAEdoyBzPESpFVQRApMzAKCkh9Giecp6jDeBDAQvo7v3SfNAwwCgshuR 9fY74AI9xKNM2rooQeCDTAg= =o4lv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
