3010.0. "VMS V5.3-1 SPX Dual Head Problem" by BURTON::MCCAUSLAND () Thu Jun 28 1990 10:25

	Running a dual head SPX under VMS V5.3-1 with GEA0 (scanproc) as 
	screen 0 and GCA0 (mono frame buffer) as screen 1 works fine,
	however with GCA0 as screen 0 and GEA0 as screen 1 the cursor is
	bound to the mono screen and appears to wrap around as it tries to
	move across non existant pixels 1025 to 1280.

	Sorry, I havn't be able to try this under 5.4. Also the V5.3-1
	DECW$PROVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE file has a typo:

	  $do_VS2HD:
	  $ run sys$system:sysgen
	  connect gca0/adap=0/csr=%X5000/vect=%o400/numv=01/driver=gcbdriver
	  $ decw$color == "T,F"
	  $ if f$getdvi("GAA0","EXISTS") decw$device == "GAA0,GCA0"
	  $ if f$getdvi("GEA0","EXISTS") decw$device == "GEA0,GCA0"
	                                ^
	                                |
	                               then

	Anyone know if these are known problems?

This is still a problem in V5.4.  I don't know about the other problem,
but to be on the safe side, I would enter it as a second QAR.  We just
haven't had that much experience with dual-headed workstations to say
that we've worked out all of the bugs!
