Date: 25 Jun 1997 14:46:35 GMT Lines: 13 Message-ID: <5orb0b$hhg$1@nntp2.ba.best.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: thrush.omix.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:43491 Is there a device driver avaliable to access a secondary MONO monitor? Something that would give me something like /dev/mono to pipe stuff to? This would be in addition to the main color console. And/or, would it be posible to use the mono as the main system console, and still use the VGA via X? Do the X servers (XFree86) need a device in /dev, or do they talk to the hardware directly? Thanks! -- -Zenin zenin@best.com
