Just a curiosity question - is there any way to run dual SBUS frame buffers
on Sparc or do they cancel each other out?

Say for example that you wanted to display on two monitors or you had an
extra frame buffer with an actual VGA 15 pin on it and didn't want to have
to worry about which type of monitor to plug it into.  (I actually have an
8-bit VGA frame buffer - I love E-Bay!)

I work on my Sun box at work when I'm not busy but I like to take it home
each day and it would be nice to be able to run off of either the Sun
monitor at work or the VGA one at home and not have to use an adapter of
change out the frame buffer each time.

It's really just a curiosity question as I don't hold much hope that two
display cards will work at the same time.

Sincerely,

Mike Hebel
