We have a Sun IPC running X11R4.  The IPC has the color option which
gives it a cgthree.  One our 3/80 and 3/60, we can use X and access
both screens but on the IPC its different.  You can move the cursor off
the initial screen and it will wrap around to the other side but you
never can actually access the other screen.  The default frame buffer
is the cgthree because you can use color with no problem.  bwtwo is
created and permissions are correct.  What needs to be done to access
both screens.

Other details:
The IPC runs SunOS 4.1.1
X11R4 was compiled on a SunOS4.1 machine.

Please summarize to me as I don't read this group all of the time.
