Multihead support is not there > yet, but it's in the TODO list. Definitely. I'm not yet sure how I'll deal with some issues related to multihead, like enabling/disabling mirroring, telling XFree (when using UseFBDev) which /dev/fbs are multiple heads of the same card, etc... All that is basically lacking in the fbdev API at this point. I'm also a bit swamped with work lately so I had to put my radeonfb work on hold for a while. Of course, any help on that is welcome ;) Ben. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
