I recently upgraded to a 386 with VGA and monochrome monitors. I also upgraded to XENIX 386, 2.3.2. My old setup was a 286 with EGA and monochrome monitors. On the old system, the EGA monitor had virtual screens 1 - 6 and the monochrome had screens 7 - 12. This was set up during the installation automatically. Now, on the new system, I can't use the monochrome. All screens are assigned to the VGA. I dug around in the manuals and found under screen(hw) that the multiscreens can be reassigned, but don't understand how to do it. What I'd like to do is assign screens 7 - 12 to the monochrome monitor the way it was in the 286 version. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, -gary gritchie@polyslo.calpoly.edu -- -Gary R Ritchie gritchie@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU

Use "vidi mono" on the screens you wish to make mono.
Note that some VGA boards spill over into the address space

I use the following in a file called: /etc/rc.d/0/avidi /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty01 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty02 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty03 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty04 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty05 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty06 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty07 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty08 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty11 /bin/vidi e80x43 < /dev/tty12 /bin/vidi mono < /dev/tty09 /bin/vidi mono < /dev/tty10 Note that too get so many 80x43 screens I had to change the screen memory up to 128kb. -- Stuart.Lynne@wimsey.bc.ca ubc-cs!van-bc!sl 604-937-7532(voice)
