Twinview (Dualhead support) seems to behave badly. My card has the following connectors on the back: HD15, TVout, DVI At boot, if the card detects something plugged into the HD15 port, it will send the console there (otherwise it checks the DVI port and sends it there if it finds anything). If you start the X server up singleheaded, it prefers the HD15 port as well (ignoring the DVI port unless the HD15 port is unused). Now heres the weird part. If you configure TwinView, the DVI port becomes monitor number 1, and the HD15 becomes monitor number 2. This is obnoxious if you have a nice new multisync monitor on the HD15 and an old 800x600 monitor on the DVI port (using the included DVI->HD15 adaptor). 90% of the time I just want the one head, but sometimes I'd like to fire up the little monitor so I can put toolbars and stuff on it. The little monitor can't support the same modes the big one can though, and it turns out that I have to completely rework the XF86Config. Just a heads up for all of you out there who want to get TwinView working. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
