The first snapshot of XFree86 4.0 (ver 3.9.15) was released on the XFree86 web site a few days ago. http://www.xfree86.org It supports Multi-Head X11 (ie 2 or more VGA cards in one PC). (which I current do with XiG's Accellerated X 4.1) I have a two PCI matrox cards Matrox Millenium 4 Meg PCI Matrox Millenium II 4 Meg PCI After a download, build, install session and some time spent crafting the right /etc/XF86Config file, I can report it all works great. I have one 17" monitor running at 1024x768 24 bit colour And a 14" monitor running at 640x480 24 bit colour The snapshot is open to the public for testing. Why not have a go. Remember though, this is a first snapshot of new code. bye Roger -- Roger Hardiman Strathclyde University To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
