[Suns-at-Home] question about the PGX32 card and multiple monitors...

[Joe Jupin]

Hey all...

I just found this list and would like info on this card.  I
have it setup in an Ultra 5/Solaris 8 and using two Sun
Monitors.  I set the +xinerama setting - and then get the
following weirdness - the second monitor (attached to the
PGX32 card) inverts the black and white colors - everything
else is fine.  I've tried just about everything I could to
fix this but haven't been able to get this resolved - since
then, I've turned that setting (+xinerama) and the 2nd
monitor off - it messes with my mind seeing it reversed like
that.

Oh, some history - I did have the card working with Solaris
7 and having multiple CDE sessions start (one per/monitor) -
It's okay, but kinda intensive memory wise.  I want to go
the the single display environment spanned across both
monitors.  Also, FYI, I have tried this with both CDE and
the GNOME/Enlightenment environment that comes with Sol8 -
any suggestions, work arounds would be wonderful!

many, many, many thanx...

peace.  JOe...
