Dual monitors ok, but no mouse and keyboard action on the slave screen
I`ve gotten a 17 inch monitor in addition to my 22 inch working with 2 separate desktops. I plan to have stuff like wireshark etc on the smallest. But I have a problem, I can get no work done since I have no mouse or keyboard working on the 17... Anyone have somewhere with a solution to point me towards ? Blessed be..

Anyone have somewhere with a solution to point me towards ? There are basically two kind of two-monitor settings: One is to have the WM manage them, the other one is to concatenate them to one logical screen. I've been using the concatenated screen with two 21 CRTs, each running at 1400x1050, so the result was a 2800x1050 ultra extended extraordinary super hyper big wide screen. :-) You can configure this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (which you can have X auto-generate). For example, ServerLayout could contain Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 Screen 1 Screen1 LeftOf Screen0 Option Xinerama on Then add the two Monitor sections according to the screen parameters (in my case, identical data). In the final Screen section, you can then experiment with Option TwinView Option TwinViewOrientation LeftOf Option ConnectedMonitor CRT, CRT depending on your actual connection setup.

Re: dual monitors?
I'm running 2 monitors with the 7600GS. Configuration is easy, you can email me privately if you have problems getting things set up. This URL should answer a lot of config questions for you. http://http.download.nvidia.com/freebsd/1.0-9625/README/index.html I've only got a couple of 'problems' that I haven't been able to fix so far. 1. Mplayer in full screen displays everything to the left and in letterbox format. Totem doesn't have this problem. 2. Overclocking using the nvidia config utility doesn't work so well, but for Google earth and fgfs the 7600 is plenty fast anyway.

Thanks, Eric Oh yea forgot to post the xorg.xonf file, here it is. Also I have Xorg 6.9.0. Start by reading man 4x radeon and pay close attention to anything it says about MergedFB. Decide if there's any reason you don't want to or can't use that feature of the driver. If not, you probably want to go that route to get the performance bonus. Look around on the web for examples. If you don't end up wanting or being able to use MergedFB then you should use Xinerama (X's multi-head software). You'll need to enable it with something like this: Section ServerFlags Option Xinerama 1 EndSection Then you'll need to add an additional Screen item to your ServerLayout section (and specify the relationship between the two screens), then add additional Device, Monitor, and Screen sections to the file describing your second display. Again, there should be a lot of documentation and examples out there since (as Ted mentioned) this isn't FreeBSD-specific.

Problems with xorg dual monitors
Since the recent upgrades, which included both gnome and xorg upgrades, I have been unable to run dual monitors in xinerama mode. Cloned monitors works fine, but when I try to display in xinerama mode, the box locks up hard after login, and only a hard reboot will restore functionality. I installed kde and ran it to see if it was a problem with gnome, but it manifested the same problem, so this appears to be a problem with xorg. One oddity of note - before the upgrade, the right screen never displayed anything until after I logged in. Now it has a pea soup green appearance as soon as the X server starts displaying, and it remains that way until the system locks up. I'm using the same xorg.conf file that was working previously. Here's the system details: There are no errors in the Xorg.0.log. egrep '(EE|WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Paul, Xinerama using Xorg 6.9 on FreeBSD 6.0 works fine for me.

That's a Matrox-specific feature. It is needed on some of the older cards to use Xinerama, but not for the G450 and G550 (not that these are exactly new). So I deleted the file. I can find the particulars if you like, but I don't think it applies to your case. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11-servers/mga_hal/ for details on mga-hal. You may wish to sort through the X.org log file, though, to make sure that there are no similar vendor-specific files that have broken in the upgrade to 6.9. That's how I found that mga-hal did not work.

Re: Dual monitors xorg.conf
I have Xinerama working with two HP P1110 monitors and a single Matrox G450 dual-head card. The only problem I have is that the system dual-boots MS Windows XP Pro and if I don't do a cold reboot after running XP I sometimes get artifacts (for example, the borders around Firefox running under KDE gets random colors). So far shutting down, powering off, and booting has solved that problem. This is under 5.4-RELEASE/STABLE. I'm about to switch to an ATI Radeon 9600 AIW dual-head card, which should be interesting to set up.

Dual monitors don't work
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 with Xorg 6.8.2, and I've been trying to get dual monitors to work with Xinerama. I'm pretty sure I've gotten everything right in the xorg.conf file, and the left monitor works fine (looks really good too.) I *think* the problem is permissions. When I look at the Xorg.0.log, the last line has this: AUDIT: Wed May 18 15:20:38 2005: 525 X: client 4 rejected from local host. What am I missing?
