I've been trying to find out how to configure DECWindows to make use of
the advanced graphics features in the VAXstation 3520/3540 hardware.

The hardware manual that came with the unit indicates that it has alot
of nice features, such as hardware "virtual displays" that DECWindows
doesn't seem to be using.  BTW, as I understand it, the "virtual display"
allows a region of the screen to be handled as a separate display (memory
operations, colormaps, etc) from the rest of the screen.

Can anyone help?  I'm running VMS 5.3 and DECWindows 5.3.

Jon
