Hi xperts ,
I am running X11R3 + 8patches, on Sun 3's running SunOS 4.0. It runs great
on monochrome suns but there seems to be a problem with color suns and grey
scale suns.
The problem is that it seems to have two virtual displays. When I move the
cursor, on one extreme (right or left side) of the sun screen
(color/grey scale), the
screen turns all grey, i.e., all the windows disappear and screen
gets the color of the rootwindow, and if i furthur move the cursor,
it appears on the screen from the other side. the cursor thus wraps
around the screen whenever it passes the right or left extreme side
of the screen and comes back on the other side. similary , the windows
that disappear also reappear once the cursor appears on the other side
of the screen. However, the cursor does not get past the top and bottom
extreme of the screen as it should be .
I wonder if anyone else out there also has experienced this problem.
and is there any solution to this. any help or pointers are highly
appreciated.
-Aditya

This isn't a problem, it's a *feature*(1). There are supposed to be
two screens, one monochrome, one color.
However, the cursor does not get past the top and bottom
extreme of the screen as it should be .
Huh? It's not supposed to get past the top or bottom.
(1) Well, a better feature would be a single screen with two visuals, but
no one's gotten around to that yet.jdi@sparky.UUCP (John Irwin) (03/17/89)

Everyone keeps saying this, but I guess I disagree. To me the extra screen
real estate is far more valuable than the ability to mix mono and color windows
on the same 17" by 14".
I've heard a rumour that Sun will have a single screen multi-visual server.
