Can I suggest adding a "Virtual 1280 1024" (sized appropriately) to each 'SubSection "Display"' of each 'Section "Screen"'. I ran into some wierd problems with multiple screens and found that the virtual size isn't correctly initialised unless it's explicitly specified. That said, I suspect that the underlying problem is: >(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support ISTR, there is no longer any support for multiple video cards in FreeBSD - I believe Xorg7.4 relies on external functionality that FreeBSD doesn't have. Can you try removing one of the screen/device/monitor sections and see if it works? --=20 Peter Jeremy --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkyufNMACgkQ/opHv/APuId+1gCglsNEvbq9RCIHLXe4bsTUoHZC PvIAn33lR7G0lqQsok6754eThDDDPxjr =/Wy3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND--
