I also used the Linux driver without a problem - happy about that. This wouldn't work for me without it. Going over what I did... Just briefly the parts of the XF86Config. I made two device sections (ID Maxtrox_1 and Maxtrox_2 with screen 0 and 1) one thing mentioned on the man page is that video cards with two or more built in one card need to define the screen. Section "Device" Identifier "Matrox_1" Driver "mga" VideoRam 32178 BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection Probably a few more tweaks could go in their. Then in the Screen section just make one Screen for Device Matrox_1 and one for Matrox_2 ... Identifier "Screen 2" Device "Matrox_2" ... Then in the Layout. Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Simple Layout" Screen "Screen 1" Screen "Screen 2" RightOf "Screen 1" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Defining the second screen is something the examples I found of working dual G400 configs seemed to miss. Luckily the man page for XF86Config covers it right at the end. startx +xinerama (and use a window manager that can handle multi-displays of course). --- Jason --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
