Cause you're the 3rd I see with multiple monitor issues. Ironically, we have one system with CRT + TV-OUT through one card, with no issues whatsoever (500GB HDD, DVDRW, rock on!). However I turned off Xinerama support from the get go and use TwinView. With all the Xorg 7.3 issues, I have not gone that road nor plan to anytime soon. I also think we've had all the different cards by now, a quatro, GeForce 5k, 7k, 6k... Maybe someone can build a WITNESS/DDB kernel, since dumping seems to be failing? -- Mel
