These seem to be the case: - Getting xterm fonts the right size requires *booting* with the hi-res display being main. X can be starting with either being main. - Getting the menu to come up requires starting X with the hi-res display being main; I can then change which display is main after I have started X. So the only way I can get my preferred behavior seems to be: - Boot with the hi-res screen as main - Start X - Switch to have the lo-res screen as main (which requires switching back before any reboot ...) Does this all fit the understanding of how XWin starts up and interacts with Windows display settings?
