They suggested I get the Matrox Impression Plus or : Muleniam cards (I want to put to gether 2 15" running 800x600 and one 17" : running 1024x768). If I were to do this what would I have to do for FreeBSD : to be able to see all three displays and support them? Not much. One of the cards should be set to do the "VGA" thing as the console (its a jumper) and the other cards have that disabled. FreeBSD in console mode will only see the "VGA configured" monitor, but i'm sure your not doing this to run multiple console devices :) The Xinside multihead software is what you really need to make this sing and dance.
