[OpenIndiana-discuss] Multiple monitor support

[Rick C. Hodgin]

I was able to reboot into the other boot menu option (not openindiana-1,
but something about development) and get it to work.  But, I'm back in my
old configuration now before the update.

How can I copy over the X settings from this boot menu configuration to the
openindiana-1 menu configuration?

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
