Problem with vesa driver

[Ashish Jain]

Hi,

As we know VESA is a generic video driver therefore the VESA driver works on virtually any modern graphics adapter that's why I am trying multi-monitor with VESA driver and according to my investigation it is running well with single monitor. 

Can we use the Intel driver as a generic driver? 
Or
Do you know any generic driver which support multi-monitor?


Thanks & Regards

Hi,

I wonder why Ashish is trying to use the vesa driver when there is a rather
"superb" native Intel driver ... ?
