I would like to know is it possible to run X windows and Sunview on
a sun 3/80 at the same time??
I almost had it working, as follows:
I start up the X windows which comes up on the colour frame buffer
and on the monochrome frame buffer so that the two screens are adjacent,
however I am able to start up sunview on the monochrome frame buffer while
running X on the colour. However the problem is that sunview and x clash on the
monochrome frame buffer particular for input from the mouse and keyboard!!!

So there a way of only bring up X on the colour buffer and sunview on the
monochrome buffer, so that I can switch between them by moving the mouse of one
side of the screen etc......
