I'm running two of the Hitachi 4119 monitors under FreeBSD. These are the surplus Sun3 monitors you can find for about $50.00. Running 1024x768 under Xfree86 3.3. They'll do 1152x900 but I never could do it with Xfree and the picture wasn't Wonderfull anyhow. My first offer is if anyone wants my modelines and config hints feel free to ask. It was damned easy when I installed Xfree86 3.3 to make them work and I was able to finally ditch AccelX v1.3 that I just hadn't felt like buying the upgrade for. My question is, has anyone run two monitors under FreeBSD? I dont mean two monitors under X. I'd love to do THAT but... I dont get Console mode anymore of course. These monitors just can't syncup to it. If we had something like the Linux SVGA drivers it could be done but after looking at the code I can understand why people cringe when asked about it. I'm thinking of putting an old Hercules card and a mono monitor on these machines so I can have console mode again. Any hints on this would be appreciated. Dont wanna take my machines down until I'm sure of what I'm gonna do to'em.
