Our workstations do support two physical monitors.  In this
configuration, the X server can create one screen on each monitor, so
the two screens are addressed as :0.0 and :0.1.  I am using such a setup
at this very moment.

If you only have one physical monitor, our X server can create two
screens on that one monitor.  The two screens are still addressed as
:0.0 and :0.1.  A special key toggles which screen is displayed.

On most of our platforms, the X server does currently run on top of
another window system.  However, we do support a native X server
(meaning it doesn't run on top of another window system) on the most
recent addition to our workstation line, the Interpro 2020.  Call your
local Intergraph sales office for details.
