I tried this a couple of years ago onto a large videoscreen from Barco. The 3
x 67inch screens functioned as one wide X display and I used xrdb to load X
defaults before running an instance of nv6000 (neview 4.1) on each. I'll give
the examples at the end of this mail which should still work with TME Netview 5
I later ditched this because of lack of control and wrote a java program to run
on the server which could display lines, icons, text and animated gifs. This I
drive from the TEC with a little java client program. This gives you extra
flexibility to identify other problems (i.e application going down), and you
could put little icons over the top of larger icons (e.g disk inside a
computer).
