This is your kernel on "The Blob!" http://www.openbsd.org/39.html At any rate, im my limited experience in dealing with different frequencies on different monitors (different resolutions as well, 1024x768 on one, 1280x800 on another) it is a major PITA. I only tried it on gentoo though, so there is a good chance I just didn't "get it." After trying, failing, and giving up, I was later told that Xinerama ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama ) may have been a solution, you could look into it at least. -Mark _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
