We have a SUN system with the cgfour frame buffer.  This frame buffer
gets configured as two screens :0.0 is the color FB and :0.1 is a mono
frame buffer.

If X is fired up on login, then I can get from one screen to the other by
sliding off the current screen to the left or the right.

However, if X is fired up to run over (under?) suntools (SUNOS 3.4), then
I cannot get the the other screen using the mouse.  What I have been doing
is firing up an application for the "other" screen.  TWM, appears to transfer
mouse control to the screen as part of the client positioning process.

Is there someway I can run both suntools *and* X in such a was as to have
easy mouse access to both X screens?  (I do *not* want to have to run
two copies of suntools in order to do this.)

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg
