To use a DDA with VP/ix you need a vdi driver, ISC has this as part of its base
and AT&T gives this when you buy Simultask (AT&T's copy of VP/ix)
You can't use /dev/logi do to the fact ESIX does not have a generic mouse driver
with SYSV3.2.

Try "<ALT-SYSRQ> <Function Key>" just like changing VT's on ICS....
