multiple monitors not working as expected

I have 2 monitors plugged in one via vga cable and the other via dvi cable. They both work as far as they have the same display on them. I was hoping to have each monitor as a seperate workspace if you will. I've played a bit with xrandr but it makes no sense to me so heres some logs and such. Hopefully someone out there can hit me with a clue stick or two.

thanks in advance

Looks like your Xorg is running on the VESA driver. What video card does the system have? I can't tell from the logs you posted.
 
[solved] I installed drm-kmod. I tried with kld_list=radeonkms but upon reboot my monitors turned off so that was a little scary. I then added:

hw.syscons.disable=1

to /boot/loader.conf and all is well.


xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
