The nv driver has all kinds of problems and doesn't even support RandR 1.2. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with dual monitors. However, the Nouveau driver has been making great progress. I don't know if it's available for FreeBSD, but I've had pretty good luck with it on Linux. Anyway, with Nouveau, it should automatically detect the displays, and you can use the xrandr command-line utility to pick the orientation and placement of the monitors. If Nouveau doesn't work, I don't think there's anything you can do. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
