I hope this is not a FAQ, but I couldn't find a FAQ posting for this newsgroup.

We have a double buffered color monitor with cgfour0 and bwtwo0 frame
buffers.  I'm trying to run OpenWindows 2.0 on this monitor.

My problem is, when I start up OW2.0 with several clients on unix:0.0, the
same clients show up on the other screen unix:0.1.  But they are not really
there, because when I refresh unix:0.1, they background reappears.  Again
when I switch back to unix:0.0, it has been refreshed also and I have to
refresh unix:0.0 again to get back my clients.  I find this very frustrating,
it defeats the purpose of having two frame buffers.

I start up OW2.0 with:

% openwin -dev /dev/cgfour0 staticvis -dev /dev/fb grayvis right 

and use twm or olwm as the window manager.

Any clues?
