Hello,

My AIX workstation has a graphic card with dual outputs: one 15-pin VGA
and one DVI. Currently, I can only see my desktop on the 15-pin VGA
monitor. Is there a command to extend my desktop to the DVI monitor?

Thanks.

Most likely not. What framebuffer is it exactly?

No.

It's probably a GXT135P.

At some aix level there is a patch to allow the driver to report to the OS
if it is sensing a DVI cable and send the output to that port, but no
option to choose/share.

I rebooted my AIX workstation and observed the following:
- The boot sequence showed up on the 15-pin VGA monitor.
- Once the boot sequence is finished, the logon screen (and subsequent
desktop) showed up on the DVI monitor, the 15-pin VGA monitor went blank.

That's ok, I guess. It would be better if I could control where to send
the output though.
