No problem! Glad to hear it is working for you.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean. You'd just attach a keyboard and
mouse to the CPU server (or attach those to a USB hub or something
that is attached to the to the CPU server) and you arrange for a shell
to be running as some user, binding those devices int its namespace,
along with the draw device. Other users would just `cpu` into the CPU
server normally. Whether that keyboard/mouse is the console keyboard
or mouse is up to you.
