I've got two nVidia cards playing quite nicely with X, but what I'd really like is to have them run two consoles e.g. ttyv1 maps to monitor0 and ttyv2 maps to monitor1. For those wondering, I often find console text the most comfortable to read, and would love, when for example troubleshooting, to have logs scrolling on one monitor whilst tinkering on the other. (Plus it would look very 80's hacker film ;) TIA, Richard -- Richard Jones http://www.jonze.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
