On one card VGA support is disabled and only one is running for textmode. I'm also using only one set of keyboard and mouse - but I asume it should be possible to use more under X. I can't speak for textmode with more than one card but X11 is running fine with more than one card - only the xinerama mode crashed while starting. > ps I have driver for G450 which fully supports my card under X 4.0.1 > with two monitors.

It's described in the XF86Config manpage. You the start the X sessions giving the layout as a parameter. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
