Ok. I was building it from source. I'll try it from ports. Thanx. Not sure about Twinview, but I found the following http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-June/010814.html There seems to be a few options that have to be setup for enabling Twinview and configuring the second monitor. Hope it works Regards Gautham _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
