    Has anyone had any success with dual head on this card ( that is, one monitor
    on the vga output and another on the dvi output )?

    usually if I do pciconf -v -l with one monitor hooked up only and to the vga
    port, I get

    drm0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00041681 chip=0x514c1002 rev=0x00
    hdr=0x00
        vendor = 'ATI Technologies'
        device = 'R200 Radeon 8500 / 8500LE'
        class = display
        subclass = VGA

    as you can see it has the drm driver attached.

    If I start with both monitors plugged in I get this:

    none0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00041681 chip=0x514c1002 rev=0x00
    hdr=0x00
        vendor = 'ATI Technologies'
        device = 'R200 Radeon 8500 / 8500LE'
        class = display
        subclass = VGA

    what happened with the driver? The text in the console also looked blurry.
    If I go to startx I get a no screens found error.

    Does anyone know about this, had any experience, now where to look, or wether
    this is more a freebsd current type question?

    Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, I really want to get dual
    screen happening

    Thanks in advance

    David
