It allows we use two independant desktops. But from /etc/X11/xorg.conf,keyboard and mouse configuration are included into "ServerLayout" section,not "Screen" section. It seems that one Xserver can't use two independant keyboard and mouse. If I want to do a thing like this: one machine,1 video card with 2 CRTS,2 mice, 2 keyboard. The individual keyboard/mouse is intended to work with one CRT, so that 2 person can use one machine at the same time. But one Xserver cann't handle this circumstance. Miguel gave us a method on http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/g450.html. But it needs to hack Xserver, and start up two Xservers running on fbdev. Do you have some comment on this issue?
