I upgraded to xorg 7.2 this past weekend by following UPDATING. Did not have major problems. It did take a long time to recompile with portupgrade, and I skipped openoffice. Dual monitor with nvidia driver from the ports is easy (nvidia-settings). However, it took me a while to figure out why it maximized windows to both screens. It turned out that my window manager (fluxbox) was also upgraded in batch mode and did not have Xinerama support compiled in. Maximization to one screen works in either twinview or separate X screen mode after recompile fluxbox (WITH_XINERAMA=yes). However, to rotate one monitor to portrait, one must use separate X screen configuration. I also adjusted the location of the screens so that they are aligned in the bottom (256 in line 3). Here is key sections of my xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 256 Screen 1 "Screen1" 1280 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "Xinerama" "1" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "HP L1940" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "HP L1940T" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce 7300 GT" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard1" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce 7300 GT" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 24 Option "Rotate" "CCW" Option "TwinView" "0" Option "metamodes" "DFP: 1280x1024 +0+0; DFP: 1024x768 +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard1" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "0" Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +0+0; CRT: 1024x768 +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
