Hi Folks:

Has anyone had any experience/trouble using multiple screens using XView 2.0?
I am having a devil of a time getting multiple screens to work within one process.
Here's my configuration:

        Sun4 running 4.0.3
        OpenWindows 2.0/XView 2.0
        X11R4 server distributed by Teksource
                supposedly optimized for multiple graphics screens (8 plane)


When I open both screens from within the same client process, then map
a trivial window into each screen (say a window with a hello-world
button) the first button activate callback works fine (either screen)
but then any press on the other screen results in an X Protocol error.
The error is

        Major Code 55
        Bad Match

I don't know the patch level of the server; does anyone know if XView 2.0 runs
poorly beneath a given R4 patch level?

Please reply to me; I will summarize any response and post to the net.
Thanks for any help !!!
