OpenVMS VAX Operating System, Version 5.5-2 SPD 25.01.37
The screens on the multiple monitors are controlled by
a single server. The mouse cursor can be moved freely
between screens, and the keyboard can be used to
generate input to windows on any screen. The server
implementation handles each monitor as a separate
X11 screen. This means that a single window can-
not cross screen boundaries; for example, users cannot
drag a window from one monitor to another. However,
users can cut and paste between windows on different
screens, and windows can be opened on either screen,
or both, by user applications.
The Dual Monitor Option is a cable and adapter module
that allows two monitors to be connected at the same
time to a single VAXstation 3100 system box (models
30, 38, 40, and 48). The Quad Monitor Option is a
cable and adapter module that allows four monitors to
be connected at the same time to a single VAXstation
4000 model 60. The system must include one of the 8-
plane graphics options, either the GPX graphics or SPX
graphics accelerator.
The system must include at least one monochrome
monitor, VR150 or VR262, driven by the single-
plane frame buffer that is standard on all VAXstations
3100s. VAXstation 4000 model 60s do not require a
monochrome monitor.
The second monitor, connected to the 8-plane graph-
ics option, can be color, or it can be monochrome for
gray scale operations. Supported color monitors for
the VAXstation 3100s are the VR160, VR290, VR297,
VR299, and VRT19. Supported color monitors for the
VAXstation 4000 model 60 are VRT16, VRT19, and
VR320.
Standards
The VMS Operating System is based on the pub-
lic, national, and international standards listed below.
These standards are developed by the American Na-
tional Standards Institute (ANSI), U.S. Federal Govern-
ment (responsible for FIPS), Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and the International Or-
