  One more question concerning my goal of running X Windows
  on two adjacent screens.  As you may recall, I have a Sun 3/260
  with a monochrome and a color screen (one keyboard, one mouse).
  I hope to run X on both displays simultaneously and move the
  mouse cursor from one to the other transparently.  
  
  I did receive some helpful words of encouragement.  The best
  suggestion was to start-up an X server (and xterm) on each
  screen, and then use adjscreens (a Sun utility) to move the
  cursor between windows.  Yet, I still hope to find a
  method for doing this without having to rely on a Sun
  utility.

  The question:  Will version 11 support this type of
  multi-screen use?   If so, I may wait till v.11 comes out;
  if not, I'll keep at it. 

  (I've heard mention of multiple root windows in v. 11, maybe
  I can use one per display?)

  Thanks -- Jeff Waters
