Wednesday I was at a local auction house and I got four more Sun 17"
monitors for free. This set me off on another new project: getting two
displays up and running. I have a SparcStation 10BSX, and it has the
daughter card with the second video connector and two VSIMMs. I'm running
Solaris 8 on it and I don't know how to access the second framebuffer. I
have a second display connected but opening, for instance: "xterm -display
hostname:1" doesn't bring up a terminal window on the second monitor. Is
it possible to run Solaris 8 on a dual headed box like this? And, an
aside- What is the significance of a SparcStation 10BSX? How is it
different from a SparcStation 10SX? I can't find any details anywhere.
Thx.
Scott
