dual console with matrox g400

I've just got a dual head system with a matrox g400 working. However, what I would really like to have is a dual console system - so that two people could use it simultaneously. Has anyone tried that, or know if it is possible? Eoin To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscr

GNU auto* tools use bash

Just a heads-up: under FreeBSD 4.1; some of the GNU auto* tools (notably autoconf and autoheader) invoke /bin/sh, but presume that that is really bash. Autoconf is from the autoconf-2.13 package. For example, when I try to run 'autoconf --version', it hangs. % autoconf --version Start ...

netgraph help(?)

I'm trying to set up a multi-ethernet connection between two FreeBSD boxes so I can evaluate the performance of some of the network things (like IPSec) without bandwidth being an issue: -- | Machine A | 10.0.0.1 / fxp0-fxp5 \ 10.0
