Using the system console and non-graphical displays

Multiscreens and multiple video adapters

Video adapters can be assigned to multiscreens dynamically. All start on the primary adapter, but any screen can be moved to another video card with the vidi(C) command.

Valid adapter names are ``mono'', ``cga'', ``ega'', and ``vga''.

For example, if your primary video adapter is an EGA and you have a MONO secondary adapter, you can move the current screen onto the MONO card using the following command:

vidi mono
