Have you been able to get a > higher resolution? My second monitor can only do 1024x768, so I haven't tried higher on that one. But XFree shows: (--) MGA(0): VideoRAM: 24576 kByte (--) MGA(1): VideoRAM: 8192 kByte ... and indeed the user's manual has a table saying: Main display Secondary display Maximum display resolution 2048 x 1536 1280 x 1024 Also note that you cannot run a G400 + MII with Matrox's driver. It hangs. This is too bad, because I had hoped to go up to three displays with G400 + MII. -- Jacques Vidrine / n@nectar.com / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
