[comp.windows.x] Adjacent Screens

  My goal is to run X on two  displays, and be able to
transfer the cursor (transparently) from one display to the other
using the mouse.  I have one keyboard, one mouse, and two displays on
my Sun 3/260: a mono and a color.  Currently, I can run  X on  the
mono or the color, but not both.

  There must be a problem with the way I'm specifying the  device
name.  When  I'm on the mono in xterm, and attempt to start xinit
on the color by "xinit -- Xsun /dev/gpone0a", it simply starts a 
second xinit on the mono.  What  am I missing concerning the 
display option on xinit?

  Any suggestions for getting the cursor to move from one display
to the other and back again?
 
  Thanks.    Jeff Waters
