[Info-vax] DECwindows on rx2600?

   Apparently, GHA0 is the PCI card.  Connecting a display to its VGA
port provided a New Desktop.  No bets on the DVI port.  The default
resolution (1024x768?) is lame, but I assume that higher values can be
configured.

   I use a serial console on these systems, so I never looked at the
configuration for GH devices on them.  I also never tried to configure
GHB0 (the one built into the mp/iLO card, I assume).  But what could go
wrong?

   I connected an Apple USB keyboard and mouse to the rear-panel USB
keyboard(-icon) and mouse(-icon) ports, and that worked.  (Also with the 
mouse connected to the keyboard.)

   That's all with the current VSI VMS V8.4-2L3, but this DECwindows
stuff is generally decades old, so I'd guess that HPE V8.4 should do
about as well.
