Interesting question. Not sure. I guess it depends on whether you can have the second display enabled while still leaving the chip vga compatible on the first screen. With two seperate video cards I am sure you can do it (use the primary vga card as the console, and launch X on the secondary card). Maybe an old PCI video card running as your primary console display would be a good debug tool. If you crash, connect the monitor to the PCI card and see why. :) -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
