Apparently you need BusID numbers, but how do you > find that? Download the Powerdesk (mga_pdesk) Linux software from the Matrox site. Back up your XF86Config file. Run the software and select the two-monitor mode you want. It'll make a backup and then overwrite the XF86Config file... And then the configuration didn't work for me. Eventually I realized there wasn't enough memory on my card for two 1280x1024, 24-bit screens. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
