Well, I haven't done this on FreeBSD, but I have on BSD/OS (in fact, that's the system I'm writing this on). And I only have 2 displays connected. I'm assuming the same holds true for FreeBSD: > They suggested I get the Matrox Impression Plus or Muleniam cards (I > want to put to gether 2 15" running 800x600 and one 17" running > 1024x768). Why such a low resolution? The Millenium, for example (which I would recommend) offers up to 1600x1200, and even on a 15" monitor 1024x768 gives a cleaner picture. You might also consider if you really need 3 displays, or whether 2 17" displays wouldn't be more convenient. > If I were to do this what would I have to do for FreeBSD to be able > to see all three displays and support them? Install the boards and connect them to monitors. You'll save some headaches by installing only PCI boards and making them all Milleniums. Greg
