Special device files are created by using SAM (the System Administration Manager tool):

From SAM's main window, double-click "Peripheral Devices".

From the "Peripheral Devices" window, double-click "Cards".

A window will appear, containing a list of all cards that are in your machine. Once you select any of them (by single-clicking), the "Actions" menu will contain the options "Show Device Files" and "Create Device Files." Choose whichever option you desire.

The following definitions are included to reduce confusion between the terms "multi-display," "multi- screen," "multi-seat," and "single logical screen."

Multi-Display

A configuration with multiple graphics devices used concurrently. Any multi-screen, multi-seat, or single logical screen configuration is referred to as a multi-display configuration.

Multi-Screen

A configuration in which a single X server with a mouse and keyboard drives multiple graphics devices (where each display is a different X Screen) concurrently while only allowing the cursor, not windows, to be moved between displays.
