Thierry,
I did this quite a few years ago on one of our IBM AIX boxes.
I believe it uses generic X-Windows/MOTIF though.
Logging into that system I found the following commands:
# (From .xserverrc file) After this
#------------------------------------------------
MSG=/usr/lib/nls/msg/$LANG
RGB=/usr/lib/X11/rgb
EXTENSIONS=""
# (From .xserverrc file) -- Add this
# To define mouse/screen geometry -- I think)
#---------------------------------------------------
EXTENSIONS=$EXTENSIONS" -P11 2 -P12 1"
# (From the .xinitrc file)
# Start aiX-terms on both displays.
# (Just before mwm exec)
#---------------------------------
aixterm -display :0.0 -fullcursor -fg yellow -bg NavyBlue -cr green -sb &
aixterm -display :0.1 -fullcursor -fg yellow -bg NavyBlue -cr green -sb &
# Setup Motif Window-Manager for multi-screen
# (Very last line in .xinitrc)
#--------------------------------------------
exec mwm -multiscreen
That's about all I can find. I think that's about it. Its been about
three years since I've done this though... so I don't make any guarantees.
If you're not on AIX... then it might be a bit different, but it shouldn't
be that much different (its X and Motif after all).
Regards,
Gary Boyles, Intel

I haven't tried this but there is a company that has a multihead X-server
for Matrox G400 (http://www.xig.com/Pages/Multi-headAX.html), looks like
they only support linux/BSD though. I don't know what OS you are running.
Other than that, if I'm not mistaken I think Xfree86 (www.xfree86.org)
supports multihead on several gfx cards.

Subject: Netview on 2 screens
Hi all,
Following the discussion about big screen, I would like to know if
someone tried to use Netview with a X display consisting of 2 screens?
I would like to try to put an additionnal graphic card and screen on
my workstation so that I could have (??) the map on one screen, and
the event window on another screen. Would that be possible?
I remember vaguely about an utility called XMove that allows
to move windows from one screen to another, but never tried it.
