I asked if anyone has experience using two
monitors on one Solaris server under Openwindows
or under CDE.
Thanks to all who responded:
Ronald Loftin <reloftin@syr.edu>
Brett Lymn <blymn@baea.com.au>
Brandon K. Devlin <bdevlin@emu.logicon.com>
James Wendling <jbwendl@bnpcn.com>
John DiMarco <jdd@cs.toronto.edu>
and John Keeton <j.e.keeton@larc.nasa.gov>
who gave me details on configuring openwin or CDE
and in particular who pointed out that
"Thing is, you have 2 panes, you can't have a
single window that goes across both screens :(
You can't move windows from screen to screen
either.. "
This means I will have to set up 2 instances
of the same GUI, one in each pane. (it's a pain:-(
Ironically, I had wanted one pane, but my boss
had assumed all along that we use 2 processes,
so two panes are fine for that.
John also pointed me to www.x-software.com,
a company providing a variety of X middleware
products that allow panning, record, playback,
fault tolerance amoung X sessions. However,
they do not appear to provide a single virtual
desktop which I had asked about.
