1.4 Displays

Windows are shown to the user via a display, a logical surface on which windows are placed. Each M[UMPS] process has its own display(s); displays are not shared, although physical devices may be shared.

There is not necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between a display and the hardware device on which it appears. Multiple displays may appear on the same device and may overlap. A single display may span multiple devices.

Each display has associated input devices, typically a keyboard with alphanumeric, function and other keys, and a pointer such as a mouse.
