That's not really a feasible thing to do: I don't have modify permission for /dev; it is used by other programs, ... > The Xsun man page tries to explain this. The Xsun man page is talking about the cgfour, not the cgtwo. On the cgtwo it seems to work in a similar manner, but there is no way to get the b/w screen to be displayed (at least I can find one). So if you move your cursor too far to the left or right, it simply disappears. Clients run, but their output is invisible. It is not unreasonable to believe that there must be some unique value associated with each physical display and checking that value for the cgtwo0 and the bwtwo0 would show that they were the same display. An inode number or field of the struct fbtype record. jim
