Dear Misc@,
I am looking to build a new OpenBSD workstation for home and would like to
have a dual-headed setup using DVI. I have seen some recent previous
dicussion on this matter (Matrox P650 series not supported because of
Parhelia chipset) and would like to ask a few questions about an nVidia
card:
My searching shows that:
- OpenBSD-CURRENT has recently bumped to X.org v6.9.0
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=113736397823846)
- nv manpage for 6.9.0 shows that it supports the 6xxx series of cards
(http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R6.9.0/doc/html/nv.4.html)
- There are several conflicting reports of dual-headed support working on a
single card under the standard "nv"driver.
I have been looking at the "XFX GeForce 6600 GT 128MB DDR3" (Model:
PV-T43G-ND) which is a PCI-E card with Dual-DVI outputs. Does anyone here
have experience of using this card in a dual-headed configuration on
OpenBSD-CURRENT (using X.org 6.9.0) and does it work? If so, could you
please share your config files or any caveats with me?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
