Message-ID: <1991May20.153656.11706@vaxa.strath.ac.uk> Date: 20 May 91 15:36:56 GMT Organization: Strathclyde University VAX Cluster News-Moderator: Approval required for posting to comp.sys.sun Lines: 21 I would like to know is it possible to run X windows and Sunview on a sun 3/80 at the same time?? I almost had it working, as follows: I start up the X windows which comes up on the colour frame buffer and on the monochrome frame buffer so that the two screens are adjacent, however I am able to start up sunview on the monochrome frame buffer while running X on the colour. However the problem is that sunview and x clash on the monochrome frame buffer particular for input from the mouse and keyboard!!! So there a way of only bring up X on the colour buffer and sunview on the monochrome buffer, so that I can switch between them by moving the mouse of one side of the screen etc...... M.
