Hello, I have a machine with 2 displays. When X session is not yet started, one of the displays remains inactive while the other shows a console. I use FreeBSD 10.3 with UEFI loader and vt console driver. It is smart enough to autodetect the display's native resolution (a line from dmesg):
So I'd like to change the active display to the other, as it has a bigger resolution. I cannot just change plugs because 1280x1024 display only has a VGA connector, and my video card has only one VGA port. Maybe it's possible to use both displays, showing two different virtual consoles on each display? Or if it isn't, is support for such multidisplay environments planned?
Cannot google it myself, I have only found articles for enabling both serial console and display. I am not sure if it will work for 2 displays.
