Hmm, that could be interesting... I've seen HP's with dual screens, and they're still using R5 (though heavily patched, I guess). If XFree did support dual, I'd still be left with the problem of TWO video cards at TWO different addresses (that may not be a problem, with a bit of soldering)... Also, I don't *need* X on two screens, just on one, and a console on the other. I'm going to end up buying a VGA switch :-) -- Phil -- - [ regnauld@tetard.frmug.fr.net / +48.8N+2.3E / +33 1 4507 9391 / Sol 3 ] - - [ regnauld@freenix.fr / FreeBSD 2.x / ] - "Le schtroumpf est à l'homme ce que le bleu est au billard" - F.Berjon
