I've told him that's what you get when you get the special kernels from
friends.... Perhaps the KANGAROO kernel in the mkserv locker could
accomodate?

Subject: decmips 7.6C: kernel doesn't support multiple displays
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 93 18:54:14 EDT

System name:		Paddington
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.6C (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAGB-BA

What were you trying to do?
	I took the release

What's wrong:
	The second display on my workstation no longer works.
	Now in truth, I had a custom kernel for this but I hate
	to have lost the functionality for the greater good of
	the release process.

What should have happened:
	The decstation could have been less bd and worked :-)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Perhaps this could be solved via a mkserv script if people
	don't want to include this change in the "release" kernel.

	Note I'm entering this in "bugs" for the record.
