Hello all! I was just wondering if anybody knows if it would be possible to set up a FreeBSD 2.1.5-Release machine with simultaneous monochrome and vga output. I have an old Hercules mono card that I would like to use for console output. Then I'd like to use the cheap trident card I have to run X in vga mode. Is it possible to do this simultaneously? If you have any ideas/suggestions/comments please e-mail me. If you know of a place where I could find documentation on doing this I'd greatly appreciate it. I checked the handbook but the area on video is empty. Thanks for your time!! -Dave -- ~|~|_ _ | _ _ _| _ |` /~`|_ _ _ _ | | |(/_ |_(_)| (_| (_)~|~ \_,| |(_((_)_\ Ever been to the Realm of Chaos?
