I've got myself a Matrox G400 Dualhead and I've installed the Powerdesk port
(/usr/ports/X11/mgapdesk/) I can't get my machine to output through the
second video port. It never seems to get a signal.
The Powerdesk software very kindly sets up my /etc/X11/XF86Config file in a
way that looks correct to me, and seems to match what others have reported.
This is a relatively recent 4.3-STABLE machine with X 4.1 and KDE 2.2. I
have switched monitors and ports as a sanity check to make sure it's not a
hardware issue in cabling or the monitors.
Can anyone chime in with if they've gotten both "heads" working with this
card under FreeBSD?
Thanks. My current XF86Config file is pasted below.
