[comp.windows.open-look] Diffrent wmgrs on different frame buffers

smehta@kwela.nynexst.Com (Sandeep Mehta) (06/13/91)

I have a SPARC 2GX where I'm running the xnews server on both devices,
i.e., /dev/cgsix0 and /dev/fb.

The only difference is that I use different window managers on each:
olvwm on cgsix0 and olwm on fb.

My problem is that because I use different backgrounds (using xsetroot
or xloadimage) I have to invoke a REFRESH each time I switch screens.
Presumably this is because the colormaps for each "screen" are
different.  While I don't care if they are, I would either like to fix
the refresh problem or at least automate it, without abandoning using
different wmgrs on either desktop.

Please email replies. Thanks.
