It's actually a lot harder than it sounds. The problem is that on Linux, each X server is attached to a virtual terminal, and you can't have multiple VTs open at the same time and attached to different displays. The last time I checked (about 6 months ago), there was a project or two with kernel patches to make it possible, but I'm not sure where they're out now. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
