Back when I was still at IBM I added code to the AIX PS/2 X server to support a multi-headed server, that ran on both screens at once if you had both vga and 8514 attached to your machine. I was later told by management to remove the code from the product, for various "business" reasons. Today I was browsing the IBM server code after seeing the 8514 source code post in comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt, and found that the X server code that went out on the X11R4 tape does include the two magic lines to support multiple screens. So, if you have an 8514/A adapter, with 8514 monitor attached, and a monitor attached to your vga port, and you are running X11R4 under AIX on your PS/2, then you are in luck. Start the server thusly: Xibm -8514 -vga It is important that the -8514 flag comes before the -vga flag. --Jeff Jeff Weinstein - X Protocol Police Silicon Graphics, Inc., Entry Systems Division, Window Systems jsw@xhead.esd.sgi.com Any opinions expressed above are mine, not sgi's.
