I'm using FreeBSD 6.1 (by way of PC-BSD 1.2) and I'm trying to get my ATI x850 card to work with dual monitors. I have the xorg.conf set up correctly (see my blog post on the long hard battle to get that beachhead secured here: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/archives/000744.html ) but now I've run into further resistance and I can't seem to work around it. Soon after I get running using the dual monitors, the whole machine just freezes. This always happens, and usually while KDE is putting up its tip dialog box. I've tried using a different window manager (like fluxbox) but that didn't seem to help. Soon after logging in, the whole machine freezes solid. Anything else I can try? What sorts of things can I tweak? I run just fine if I don't do that dual monitor thing. You can see more or less what my xorg.conf file looks like on my blog post. I don't see any errors anywhere, including Xorg.0.log or .xsession-errors, or anything else in /var/log. The whole machine just freezes up. -- Jonathan Arnold Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD blog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog
