I would like information on how to setup MIT's version X11R4 of Xwindows on two monitors. I have a Sun 4/260 with the devices being: cgtwo0 and cgtwo1. The card type for the second device is a cg5. Also, I would like to be able to drag a client from one monitor to the next. Is this possible, if so how? Tom Hoth uunet!melpar!hoth

The 'diff -c' of the changes are about 160K. I did submit them to xbugs@expo. Please send me mail if anyone out there want more info. > > The card type for the second device is a cg5. > I modified the cg4, cg3, and bw2 drivers for multiple screen support. The drivers in X11R4 don't mention a cg5, nor do I have one, so I don't know how to make that work. > Also, I would like to be able to drag a client from one > monitor to the next. Is this possible, if so how? Not too likely. Client applications are connected to a screen (unix:0.1) and contain within them specific information about that screen (depths, visuals, etc. in the display structure). Disconnecting an application from one screen and reconnecting it to another screen would be a difficult thing to do. > > Tom Hoth > uunet!melpar!hoth E. Mike Durbin uunet!richsun!emike
