I seem to be running into the problem where FreeBSD doesn't have a kernel VGA arbiter. After upgrading to FreeBSD 8.1 and X.Org 1.7.5 (from FreeBSD 8.0 and X.Org 1.6.5) I keep getting these warnings and errors in my Xorg log: (WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support (EE) Aug 06 17:42:49 NVIDIA(2): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! (EE) Aug 06 17:42:49 NVIDIA(GPU-1): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! I have a nVidia Quadro NVS 440 which is a single PCI-Express card with two GPUs onboard. It pretends to be two different cards. I cannot get both GPUs to start. I have 3 monitors connected, but any attempts to use more than one GPU fails. First question: Is there any hope of getting multi-card stuff and Xorg 1.7 working? If not, simply downgrading xorg-server to 1.6.5 doesn't work. Does anybody have a list of the xorg stuff I need to downgrade? (Or is it, shudder, all of them?) -- Doug
