Has anyone else had trouble getting X11 to run on a Sun 3/110 color? The screen goes blank (white) and no cursor appears. Ideas? I've gotten it up on a Sun 3/50 and a Sun 3/260 color with no trouble. I've installed fixes 1-80. -Tom Thomas C. Palmer NCI Supercomputer Facility c/o PRI, Inc.

On a cgfour, Xsun will use both the monochrome and color screens as if they were two separate screens side-by-side. Sliding the mouse off the left and right edges will swap screens. mine came up in monochrome mode fine, but i found that the cursor would not move off any of the edges to reveal the color screen. the deficiency was that /dev/cgone0 did not exist. however, now that i have the color screen, i can't figure out how to get a window in it. my console window, clock, etc, are all in the monochrome window. suggestions? --bw
