Hey everyone.
I'm considering an addition to the desktop. Namely a second monitor to

XFree86 supported this, am I am sure Xorg does as well. You just have
to make some changes to the configuration and compile with Xinerama

You need two screen sections, two monitor sections and two device

Not sure if I can even get the same one now.

The card needs to have two RAMDACs, and two HD-15 VGA or DVI connectors.

There are a number of ways to run dual monitors on FreeBSD, Leaving out
the option of having the same desktop on each monitor (which is not very
interesting), they are:
Independent X sessions on each monitor. This gives you two totally

you can always try an `X -configure` and see if the resulting
xorg.conf has 2 sections for cards. if it does, you will be fine with
a dvi to vga adapter. if not, you'll have to get another card. also,
it will depend on your motherboard whether you need an agp or pci
card. sometimes even if you
