When I last spoke to Dec's support engineers, they indicated that the Dec 
server will support multiple screens, however there is no Dec hardware
that supports multiple screens.

As for Xsun supporting multiple screens, you are correct, the cgfour gives
you two virtual screens on a single monitor.  Let me take this opportunity
to plug the JPL Xsun multi-screen patches.  If you want Xsun to support
a cgsix and a cgtwo, you have to send me a request for the JPL Xsun
multi-screen patches.  The JPL patches have been tested on the following
equipment configurations:
1, 2, and 3 cgtwos in a Sun 4 VME-BUS.
1 cgfour in a Sun 4/110.
1 cgthree in a Sun 4 S-BUS.

The patches have not been tested (for lack of the hardware, but should
work) on the following configurations:
1, 2, and three cgthrees in a Sun 4 S-BUS (SparcStation.)
1 cgsix and 1 cgthree in a Sun 4 S-BUS (SparcStation.)
1 cgsix and 1-3 cgtwos in a Sun 4 VME-BUS.
