We have two modified 'perfly' executables running on one computer with
two graphics engines. One perfly runs on DISPLAY :0.0 and the other on
:0.1. Rather than let the code determine how many screens are available
we hardcoded the number of screen in the perfly code to be one. So far
things seem to run okay, but the graphics goes black/blank sporatically.
We then have to do a 'stopgfx' and 'startgfx'. At first the blanking
out happened only when we ran the perfly code, but today it happened
again when we weren't running anything on the computer. We're running
on an IRIX 5.3 ONYX, and with Performer 2.0. I've sent a trouble report
to SGI, but I was wondering if anyone else out there has had a similar
problem.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/comments.
