[comp.os.os2.programmer] dual moniters for debugging PM apps on PS/2s

kwb@betasvm2.vnet.ibm.com (Ken Borgendale) (05/31/91)

You can change all applications to run full screen on the VGA monitor
and PM on the 8514 as follows:  (This works in OS/2 1.2 and 1.3).

in config.sys change the SET VIDEO_DEVICES line to:
   SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_IBMVGA,VIO_IBM8514A
then add the line
   SET VIO_IBMVGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA)

OS/2 will not allow you to update both screens at the same time (for
reasons unknown to the rest of us).  This does work well for debugging.
