To Make the Desktop Start on Multiple Screens

1. Create a copy of the Xserver file by typing the following command and pressing Return:

   	# cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers

   ---

   Note -

   /etc/dt/config/Xservers overrides /usr/dt/config/Xservers.

   ---

2. Edit the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file to set up two frame buffers (screens):

   1. Find the line:

      		:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0

   2. At the end of this line add two -dev options. This example assumes they are named /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1. Add the following preceded by a space:

      		-dev /dev/fb0 -dev /dev/fb1

3. Choose Reset Login Screen from the Options menu.

   Note -

   When running Solaris CDE on multiple screens, the Front Panel only appears on the first screen. To start applications on the other screens, use the Workspace Programs menu. To display the Workspace Programs menu, press mouse button 3 over an empty section of the desktop. If you are using a two-button mouse, then press mouse button 2.
