We have a 4D/340VGX with an alternate console in addition to the
graphics monitor. We would like to use the graphics monitor as a
graphics monitor and not a console. Initially, when we set up the alternate console,
we couldn't get the graphics console to do anything. I called the hotline
and they indicated that we could use the graphics console by manually running
/etc/gl/grcond when we want to do something. But that we could not get
a login (or pandora) running on it.
Well, after playing around with /etc/inittab I found that the line:
gr:23:respawn:/etc/gl/grcond < /dev/grcons /etc/gl/pandora
works fine with one exception. When I login with the NOGRAPHICS
option on the VGX monitor, I find myself logged in on the
alternate console. What I'd like to know is if anyone has gotten a VGX
monitor to work totally separately from the console for both
graphic and non-graphic logins? If so what is the trick.
