4.7.1Matching Primary Screen with VGA Console

Screen 0 is always the VGA-enabled head and must be installed in the lowest numbered slot of all installed graphics cards and must be placed on the PCI bus containing the ISA bridge. If you wish to change a screen with any of the console displays, you can alter the logical order for mapping of physical screens to logical screens by making a copy of the file DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE and saving it to a new file named DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM. You can then make changes to the default settings by editing the newly created file. Refer to Section 4.6 for details on changing the default settings.

Caution: Changing the default settings in the

DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file to try matching a screen with a console display can have unanticipated and adverse consequences. You should attempt to perform this operation only if you fully understand all possible consequences including the chance for loss of your primary screen.
