Hello everybody,

I used multiseat configuration with two video cards on my home desktop
with operation system ArchLinux + Xorg + xdm .
But now I'm trying to go on  new release FreeBSD 9.1 and having some
problem with Xorg.
I use same configuration Xorg + xdm, but only first display(seat) works.
I found warning massage at Xorg.0.log and think is a root cause of this.
 (WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support
According VgaArbiter , I found only one page
http://www.x.org/wiki/VgaArbiter , with last edited 2008-05-16
05:50:45, thus I don't shure that
this page is still actual, beacause all link there are invalid.
Could you clarify the situation about this ?
