D'oh. yes, you did say that.

Do you mean you tried both 3.8-release and 3.8-current on amd64? How current was -current? 3.9-beta has the new version of X in it. If your 3.8-current was more than a week or so old, you have the OLD version of X. This may be "fixed" in the new version of X. Or maybe not. My luck hasn't been very good today...maybe yours will be better. And feel free to ignore my comments, at this point, you have me beat. You got three monitors to come up at all, most I can say is "PART of my problem has been a pcibios(4) issue", so now, at least, I can get two monitors to come up with the second video card (the third head) installed. Progress, as I can now heat the room a little more...but not much practical difference. Nick.
