Since i had an old Hercules screen and card lying around i thought i'd patch the
linux kernel to handle two moniters. It worked and was all very nice and clever.
One moniter (the VGA one) is Virtual Consoles 1-4 the the Herc is 5-8, great i
thought.
        Snag is, i don't use text mode much i use X. But when you start X all the
virtual consoles disappear ( i knew this anyway). This makes my second moniter
useless.
        Is their anyway i can either; run X on  both screens, or run X  on the
VGA one and still use the hercules one for text???

        Any ideas anyone?

Setup: 486sx, 25Mhz, 8Mb RAM, generic VGA board, Trident8900C card, Hercules
moniter, and an 8-bit Hercules card which must be a decade old if its a day.

Cheers, Stu.
