[comp.windows.x] B/W on SUN 3/60 with X11R3

>Subject: X11 Question for Sun 3/60 Users
This is a question for a limited audience, 
those with experience with X11 on a Sun 3/60.

Has anyone had good luck using the X11R3 Xsun 
server with /dev/bwtwo1.

The color side works fine, but there is an obvious
"compatibility problem" on the b/w side.

Is there an "obvious" solution?

Any help would be appreciated.

I had problems with this about a year ago and after reading/posting/reading
in this news group I came up with the following.

The major problem seems to be in defining the entries for hardware displays
in /dev, but it sounds like you may have this correct already.
1. B/W		bwtwo1 (3/110 = bwtwo0)
2. COLOR	cgfour0

If you just start the server it will use both displays, thats how I use it.
One will be unix:0.0, I think the B/W and the other will be unix:0.1.  This
can be changed in the source, there is a list of devices the server searches
through.  By altering the order of search, 0.0 and 0.1 can be changed.  I
do not remember where in the source, I never did it, just read about it.

I think you can also specify a specific /dev entry to use, not sure if that
works.
