Hi.  I wanted to know if anyone has tryed to instal dual head monitors
under FreeBSD. I know that this can be done in Solaris O/S. You can 
drop in 2 video cards on the bus and have them respond to differents 
IRQ's and set up X-windows to take advantage of both monitors. You can
configure your mouse to jump from one monitor to the nex when you move
it outside the boundary of one of the monitors. It's great..

Can this be done in FreeBSD?  Any help is greatly appreciated..

thanks..
