Hi All. I've been curious about this for a while, and was wondering if
its
possible. Is there a way to have 1 machine fascilitate 2 or more
monitors,
keyboards, & mouse. Each Monitor having its own Xsession, using its
own
keyboard,etc.
Kind of like a dummy terminal, just have the extra montiros directly connect to the host computer. And have the mice and keyboards go through USB.
Is this possible???
More or less what X (protocol) was designed to do, essentially, wasnt it?
Anyway, the only thing that might be tricky would be keyboards. I'm not sure how you could set those up (you'd basically be required to use usb keyboards). Keyboards can probably be represented via the event interface, but im not sure if xfree86 can do anything with that yet.
As for mouse, monitor, and video card, no problem. I'm not sure of the details on how it can be done (hehe, i'd gladly research it for you if you send me the hardware :). For example, you may need to create multiple XF86Config files and run each xfree86 instance specifying the config file to use. You might be able to even just throw all the different screens into the same file.
