<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">My apologies but I do need help from both lists here and the freebsd ppc mailing lists for these problems. How do I set the output to include two screens- one for each graphics card? What was the last supported version of Xorg to allow dual graphics cards? Is it possible to use Xnest or Xephyr with SSH to allow remote logins on a dedicated xclient & xserver? --- On Fri, 10/8/10, Alex Deucher <alexdeucher@gmail.com> wrote: <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> From: Alex Deucher <alexdeucher@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Xorg configuration fails on G4 Powermac To: "Super Biscuit" <super_bisquit@yahoo.com> Cc: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org, xorg@freedesktop.org Date: Friday, October 8, 2010, 7:28 PM <div class="plainMail">On Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 2:44 PM, Super Biscuit <<a ymailto="mailto:super_bisquit@yahoo.com" href="/mc/compose?to=super_bisquit@yahoo.com">super_bisquit@yahoo.com</a>> wrote: > > I'd like for it to be noted that the cards aren't working properly.

OF needs to init both cards for them to be usable by X. For now you'll probably only have luck with whichever card OF initialized.
