I am trying to get a dual-head creator working on my ultra 60 with
Andrey's driver. There does seem to be some pieces missing WRT the
driver supporting dual heads, but what I can not seem to figure out
from the documentation (or mail archives) is if I am on right track
WRT wscons configuration.
I have an XF86Config with:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Wsdisplay0"
Driver "wsfb"
Option "device" "/dev/ttyE0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Wsdisplay1"
Driver "wsfb"
Option "device" "/dev/ttyF0"
EndSection
and the necessary Screen bits. Current behavior is that one physcal display
is getting all the video; move the pointer off the right side of display0 and
I essentially have display1 appearing on display0, while the other monitor
remains blank.
crw------- 1 root wheel 90, 0 Apr 1 23:40 /dev/ttyE0
crw------- 1 root wheel 90, 255 Jun 4 2003 /dev/ttyEcfg
crw------- 1 root wheel 90, 254 Jun 4 2003 /dev/ttyEstat
crw------- 1 root wheel 90, 256 Jan 21 18:36 /dev/ttyF0
crw------- 1 root wheel 90, 510 Apr 2 21:53 /dev/ttyFcfg
crw------- 1 root wheel 90, 511 Apr 2 21:53 /dev/ttyFstat
And this added to wscons.conf:
screen 256 80x34 sun
I got the clue for these from an old port-alpha (?) post about dual heads. Is
ttyF on the right track?
Any hints from a working dual-head set-up?
