XFree86 (xfree for short) is an open source X-windows system (X for
short). Because it's open source, it was used by Linux and BSD, so it
became sort of a standard. Though due to an internal dispute, everyone's
moving to a new group (a fork) called X.org.
I don't know what it takes to get a dual display working, but whatever
it is, probably involves doing something with X.
Sorry I couldn't help, but I hope I've at least made the terminology
clearer.
Yeah, thanks. I found a tutorial the other day called, "Using dual
monitors with XFree86, so I think that may be the ticket.
Thanks.
