Hello Performer People,

My setup:
Performer 1.2 with Irix 5.3 on an Onyx with 8 processors,
3 Reality Engines and Triple Keyboard Option installed
(supports 3 monitor/keyboard pairs for the 1 Onyx).

My problem:
I would like my Performer program to open 3 windows, 1 on each
display/monitor. With Triple Keyboard Option I can no longer use
scrnselect() to do that. Each pipe is now a separate display -
:0, :1, :2 (each with only ONE screen).

My attempted fix:
Use putenv().
My routine I send to pfInitPipe() looks essentially like this:
  void OpenPipeline(pfPipe * p)
  { putenv(StaticEnvVariable);
     /*StaticEnvVariable set to DISPLAY=:num where num is 0,1, or 2 */
     sleep(5);
     prefposition(0, XMAX_96HZ, 0,YMAX_96HZ);
     noborder();
     foreground();
     winopen("");
     stereobuffer();
     doublebuffer();
     gconfig();
     pfInitGfx(p);
  }
But doesn't do the trick. All the windows pile up on the same monitor.

Please let me know a work around or if this is not possible with
Triple Keyboard Option installed.

Thank you very much,
Milana
