Unfortunately the HAL is a i386-only binary provided by Matrox which is required for G400 dualhead. The source Matrox provides is just the same open-source driver with a few minor changes. Is there a reason you can't use a DVI-to-VGA connector and use one of the various cheap, faster video cards with two heads out there? -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
