I have a graphics card that behaves differently under CentOS 6.4 and FreeBSD 9.1. Specifically, it is an older card (Spapphire with a ATI chip set) where I have a multi-monitor set up but under CentOS the monitors come up as expected but under FreeBSD there is some kind of weird video-line overlap across the monitors.
As far as I can tell the xorg.conf is similar but the X code under CentOS is versions ahead of FBSD even with WITH_NEW_XORG defined but I suspect that isn't the real problem though hand patching the code does have some impact. It also appears the FBSD kernel is lacking in some areas but I'm unsure (and doubt) that is the real problem. What should I be looking at in terms of configuration/code/etc such that multi-monitor behave as expected under FBSD? Also, I need to update some cards and I'm looking for a up-to-date card that supports multi-monitor under FreeBSD. Most of my cards are old but work well however I now have "purchasing criteria" (i.e., have to purchase new and from a supported supplier, not used from Amazon or eBay). Any recommended multi-monitor card you know works? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
