6.1 Hardware Notes and Restrictions
The following notes apply to graphics hardware restrictions.
6.1.1 Qvision Graphics Display Error
Different versions of Qvision graphics boards demonstrate fillsolid
drawing problems, leaving a line at the bottom of the screen, which is
evident when running CDE blank lock screen. The line varies in color and
intensity depending on the version of the Qvision board.
6.2 X Servers
The following notes apply to X servers.
6.2.1 Limited Multiscreen Display Support with CDE
CDE provides limited support for X servers with more than one screen.

noticeable. For example, colors in secondary screens may not be correct,
icons may not display properly, and applications may not appear on the
screen where they are invoked.
