[This is a repeat message that did not make it past our newsfeed (or so I
was told). If you have seen this before, I'm sorry I'm being redundant.]
The first thing I noticed after installing and starting A/UX 2.0 is
that my main monitor is the only one that works; the other monitor
is completely blank. I thought that maybe the problem was that the
kernel needed to be reconfigured (I'm a novice), but configuring
with the verbose flag shows that the system knows both video cards
are there, so I now believe that A/UX simply can't handle more than
one video card. Is this true, and if so, will A/UX be upgraded some
time to handle more than one video card?
Thanks,

Ok, so what piece of software doesn't recognize more than the lowest numbered monitor? The kernel? The finder? Help me out here ... /jordan
