- What I've seen indicates that Linux will function with CGA, EGA, VGA,
- and Herculese graphics cards. How about the old standard IBM mono
- card? The one that doesn't have *any* graphics modes, just text?
- I've got a two-headed 386 box, and under DOS I can run software on the
- VGA screen and a debugger on the monochrome screen at the same time.
- I'd like to have /dev/console messages go to the mono monitor and
- have users log in on the VGA monitor at the same time. Possible?
- Easy? Having a login on both screens with a hot-key to switch between
- them would be even better.
