Of course done that and as I previously mentioned it works perfectly with one or two cards but not at all with 3. I have been running openbsd with 3 monitors since 3.6 and have not come across this problem up till now. I found a "workaround", I tried OpenBSD i386 3.9BETA instead of AMD64 3.8RELEASE/Current and it works with 3 video cards. This is a workaround but not a solution to the problem and most likely indicates that something is wrong with OpenBSD or X in that area (Im sorry it is not in my experience to be able to explain it, perhaps someone else can read the error log and understand the problem). I will take the performance reduction from amd64 to i386 for now to use my 3 monitors, but I hope someone more knowledgeable could get around to fixing the issue. Here are the stats if anyone would like to take a shot at it dmesg: http://rjacobs.foxrex.net/mydmesg.txt xorg.conf generated by X -configure: http://rjacobs.foxrex.net/myxorg.txt error file generated by X -configure and startx: http://rjacobs.foxrex.net/myxorglog.txt Rob
