Hi, I am preparing to flee Windoze on my home machine, and am looking at FreeBSD. The question I have is does it contain support for using two (or more) monitors at once? I have upgraded my video card and monitor, and would like to use both sets, particularly under X. My understanding is that the DISPLAY variable contains a provision for multiple screens on a host, but I don't know if this is implemented in FreeBSD and/or XFree86. Under linux I found patch support for two monitors, but only one could be VGA and only one could use X. Any advice and/or pointers to other information will be appreciated; I have searched the XFree86 site documentation and emailed my question to them. Thank you, Eric Monsler
