Thanks to all including (please forgive me if I miss anyone): Richard Smith,

Jason Marshall, Aravind.Mallipudi,

Robert Hayne, Dave Foster, Matthew Atkinson, Nikolai P. Iordanov, Gerhard

den Hollander.

To enable CDE running on 2 monitors (one of the 2 video adapters is TCX

card; and Sparc 4 running Solaris 2.6)

1. Install the additional hardware(ie: frame buffer) and do a

reconfiguration boot.

2. TCX card does not work in this situation; refer to SunSolve 's doc

#4075715

* halt system so that it is at boot prom

* <ok> setenv output-device /iommu/sbus/SUNW,tcx@2,800000

* <ok> reset

3. Created a dir tree /etc/dt/config and copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers into

it. Then alter the Xservers file at the end to give you the 2 screens.

There are examples in the file itself for syntax.

Uncomment out line: : ' 0 Local local_uid@console

<mailto:local_uid@console> root /usr/openwin/bin/X -dev /dev/fb0 -dev

/dev/fb1'

And comment out line:

' :0 Local local_uid@console <mailto:local_uid@console>

root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 nobanner'

Thanks all,

s.q.
