[OpenIndiana-discuss] Multiple monitor support

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Okay, booting into the development boot menu option and not openindiana-1
allowed me to get in to the system.  I then ran update manager and did an
update.  It created openindiana-2 which is now booting up like normal.

What an experience. :-)

I need some more major X help.  Can someone email me privately?  Or
recommend a place to get that help?

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
