When I am at home I use an external monitor (via the docking station) and when I am on the road I will of course be using the laptop display. My question, can one configure both monitors into X and then will xdm recognize which monitor is plugged in or being "used" in the case of the LCD laptop? better to just use startx and pass some configs to it or something? Potential OS: FreeBSD 4.4 Release X: 4.1.0 Laptop: Dell Inspiron 8100 , Graphics: GeForce Go2 Standard docking station. Is there anything else I should be worried about? Look into in regards to the multiple monitors? I just don't want to "blow" either of them with a bad sync rate, etc... :) Thanks for any pointers!
