Can I suggest adding a "Virtual 1280 1024" (sized appropriately) to each 'SubSection "Display"' of each 'Section "Screen"'.=A0 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.=A0 Can you try removing one of the screen/device/monitor sections and see if it works? --=20 Peter Jeremy =0A=0A=0A
