Hey, I haven't been around for awhile, so here's a treat for you: Multimon is now running on 2.1.9, a couple of features are missing, but there will be new versions about once a week, with updates, available at ftp://karmadrome.snurgle.org/pub/project/multimon You will need multimon.patch, and kbd-0.91.tar.gz, the updated keyboard package. (Although the alt-up down don't work in this version, they will in a couple days, so check back for a NEW file there when I fix that.) You might want to get multimon.tar.gz for docs and stuff.
In case you don't know what multimon is, it's a mono/vga/ega/cga patch that allows you to use two hardware compatible monitors at the same time. It supports any number of vt's on each monitor, and a whole host of other neat features. To get to vt's on the second monitor, just alt-leftshift-fkey.
Thanks goes out to Pavel Machek for updating the majority of the source and working out a couple bugs.
The patch is very stable - I have an uptime of 43 days with no problems whatsoever.
Cheers,
Zach "Wack" Amsden amsden@andrew.cmu.edu
