** not in linux.  There is definitely something 'proprietary' going on that
IBM knows about with PDISPLAY but is not making generally known.
I had notes from people who write professional Xservers and they say they
can write to both at the same time.

I'll tell you, as a 27 year IBMer - now retired, I still have great loyalty
to IBM and their products.  But if I had known that the T23 could NOT do this
as a bios function, I would have purchased the less expensive T22 model or
gone DELL.  As an instructor/presenter, this feature is a must - not a nice to
have.
