RE: QPADEV proliferation

[Tim Shepherd <tims@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Emanuele...and others,

Yes, there is a way.

Set the QAUTOVRT system value to 0 (zero). This will stop the proliferation
of devices. (Sometimes you may want this on though!!)
Create enough QPADEV* devices to cater for your needs, then sessions
connecting will pick up one of the virtual devices. 
Cater for the different display sizes, i.e. 24x80 and 27x132 by
automatically creating one of each and then copying the descriptions.
I have also customised our devices by changing the naming convention of our
virtual devices so that we do not use the QPADEV* naming convention.
I also set QAUTOCFG & QAUTORMT to 0 (zero) as well.

Hope this is of help to you,
