How to disable 1 of 2 FB on U10

Hi

My Ultra10 has an Elite3D and of course the builtin PGX framebuffer.
I have only one monitor that is connected to the Elite3D.
There is one little annoyance: The mouse pointer does not stop at
the right edge of the display if I move it there. I suppose that it
travels to the invisible display of the PGX24. Therefore:

How do I correctly turn off/disable the builtin PGX24?

I did not find anything like that in the manual pages, but
I probably missed the right one... Thanks for any pointers!

Examine /etc/dt/config/Xservers (or if that doesn't exist,
/usr/dt/config/Xservers).  You should find that Xsun is being
started with more than 1 -dev argument.  Remove the one corresponding
to the PGX24 (likely the second one), and restart X.
