Cool
I have an old mono IBM monitor hooked up to this box, I am afraid you need
to patch the kernel. I found my patch on sunsite, if you are interested I
will find the address for you.
Basically I have three virtual terminals on the mono monitor, pressing
alt-f9 though f11 flips to them leaving the display on the vga monitor
untouched, it is very usefully.
Or you could try ggi the holly grail of multiple monitor support.
Have fun.
