Thanks, but my goal was not just to add more text consoles, it was to actually create more VTs on existing heads. I have 3 monitors. We're all painfully aware of the Xorg limitations with multiple pci graphics cards. So, I wanted to run them in text mode (80x50 of course :) 80x50 is easy. It's the "getting all 3 monitors to work independently" that isn't. > 2009/5/22 Need Coffee <need.cof...@gmail.com> >> >> Hi, I have kind of a weird question. >> >> I have two video cards in an amd64/-current machine. >> >> Both cards have dual-head capability. >> >> At the text console, the same text appears on both ports. >> >> Would it be possible to either: >> >> - make the ports separate consoles (seems unlikely) >> >> - run each card independently (so, more VT's offered on >> the second video card) >> >> Or some variant of these? Thanks in advance.
