Well, I just received my 19" monochrome monitor & card for my MacII. I dropped everything in (after making sure the 19" card was in a nubus slot closer to the fan, so it would become primary display) and booted. Both monitors are usable under MacOS. Great. When I boot A/UX, the secondary monitor goes dead. I have orderd Apple's X11, which I have been told does support dual monitors. However, in the mean time, I'd like to at least be able to write junque out to the secondary monitor. Is there any support in the base A/UX 11 (or MIT sample X server)? (What would be *really* cute is if I could run toolbox on my 13" color monitor and X on my 19" monitor at the same time. (Well, I can dream, can't I?)) Any tech info would be greatly appreciated.

The second monitor can't be used under A/UX except under X. Maybe someday.

Have you contacted the manufacturer to ask if they intend to be compatible with A/UX? A monitor board may work under Mac OS without necessarily being compatible wit A/UX. Special things must be done to insure that the board will run under A/UX, and apparrently not everyone is doing them. -- ----- Steve Lemke ------------------- "MS-DOS (OS/2, etc.) - just say no!" ----- Internet: cpdaux!steve@apple.com GEnie: LEMKE ----- Or try: apple!cpdaux!steve CompuServe: 73627,570 ----- Quote: "What'd I go to college for?"
