You'll need XFree4.0 (but you know this). Then "man 5x XF86Config" Essentialy you make multiple "Device" sections for each SVGA port (one card or many, doesn't matter), you get the BusID from "scanpci" If the monitors are the same, a single Monitor section is ok, or one for each *different type* of monitor. These are just like regular Screen sections, just make sure use use the right "Device" for each one. Then make multiple screen sections (atleast one per head). These screen sections are assembled in the "ServerLayout" section. The relevent segnent of my Quad head setup is below: ########## Appian JeronimoPro 4port Card ########## Section "Device" Identifier "Appian0" # Screen 0 Driver "glint" BusID "PCI:2:1:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Appian1" # Screen 1 Driver "glint" BusID "PCI:2:5:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Appian2" # Screen 2 Driver "glint" BusID "PCI:2:9:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Appian3" # Screen 3 Driver "glint" BusID "PCI:2:13:0" EndSection ########## Monitor (works for all 4 OK) ########## Section "Monitor" Identifier "Hitachi202" HorizSync 30-100 VertRefresh 50-160 Option "DPMS" EndSection ######## Screen Sections ######## Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Appian0" Monitor "Hitachi202" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Appian1" Monitor "Hitachi202" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen2" Device "Appian2" Monitor "Hitachi202" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen3" Device "Appian3" Monitor "Hitachi202" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection EndSection ######## ServerLayout ######## Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Screen0" Screen "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" Screen "Screen2" RightOf "Screen1" Screen "Screen3" RightOf "Screen2" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Generic Mouse" EndSection -Jon
