If you had one card and the correct driver, everything would be fine. If you had two cards and only the correct driver for the card you wanted, you would be fine. Since you had two cards and two correct drivers X -configure tried to setup both cards and exited when that failed. I agree the error message is vague. The more elegant solution would be to setup the card which could be configured, and ignore the one which could not, while notifying the user that only one card could be configured due to the lack of an accompanying screen (or whatever reason) on the other. Given the few people working on Xorg for FreeBSD, you may want to either file a bug upstream or start figuring out how to add the functionality with a patch and file a PR. Matt
