- Jupiter Systems offers such a beast as an X terminal. We support up to 6 frame
- buffers, where the frame buffers may, or may not (up to you) be reported to the
- client as different screens. If such a server reports only one
- screen, then the server is in what we call Virtual Screen mode.
- In virtual screen mode, you can move windows from frame buffer to
- frame buffer, and can, of course, have windows straddling frame
- buffers.
