Does anybody know anything about IBM's new XGA adapter, its Windows
drivers, and whether it can work in a dual-monitor (XGA and VGA)
setup with CodeView-for-Windows?

What I am specifically interested in is running Codview-for-Windows,
which requires a dual-monitor setup.  For you non-MicroChannel guys,
that involves running a VGA and an MDA adapter.  For us guys with PS/2s,
however, the only setup that works currently is an 8514A/VGA combo.

What I was wondering was whether an XGA/VGA dual-monitor setup was
possible for us guys with older PS/2s (with a VGA adapter already on
the motherboard), and whether Codeview-for-Windows would recognize and
handle that setup.  I currently have a PS/2 model 8580-071 (beefed up
to 6MB RAM) and its on-board VGA with a Zenith 1490 flat-screen monitor.
I also have a non-name ($100) monochrome VGA monitor that I could use
as a second monitor if I dont want or don't need to purchase a second
monitor.

My guess is that an XGA/VGA setup won't work with CVW, as that probably
requires specific knowledge about the dual-adapter setup by Codeview,
and the XGA didn't exist back when the last version of CVW was written.
I would be extremely happy to find out that I am wrong on this, however.

I'm posting this in the .programmer conference as I suspect that only
programmers will be interested in CVW-related topics.
