This is a working dual monitor setup for a Radeon 9550 RV350 with dual Samsung 19" LCD panels. agp is in the kernel, drm and radeon loaded as modules.

6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #0: Fri Jul 14 16:35:41 EDT 2006

xorg-server-6.9.0_3 X.Org X server and related programs

I have experienced some lockups since upgrading to 6.1 It seems to happen with anything that does intensive ops like watching tv, dvds and games.

HTH,
