Hello, I wasn't able to find infos about multi-head support for the new intel kms with FreeBSD 9.1 Is it possible to have xorg driving 3 displays? I know of the two-PLL-pipe limitation with intel's IvyBrindge-CPU/GPUs. But I don't know if the new driver supports possible configurations? (e.G. 2x1600x1200 + 1x1920x1200). Has anybody running xorg and 3 displays with i915kms? Or is it at least said to be supported? Thanks, -Harry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Once X is up, trying to switch to a virtual console leaves you with a blank screen until you reboot. I have 2 graphics controllers in this laptop and have to cut one of them out of my xorg.conf in order for it to work. This laptop isn't meant to use both graphics controllers at the same time, so perhaps your configuration will work much better - I'd be curious to know. -- DE

Xrandr works a treat. Cheers, Karl
