You may want to consider x2x to "share" all three.

Probably produce results. However, the issue might lie with GPM. Perhaps GPM 
or X could reset the mouse if it sees much incoming gibberish or loses a 
signal like DTR, then sees it again?

Acutally, I wish the keyboard wasn't so firmly nailed into the console code. 
Running multiple users on one machine would be much easier then.

[Cooker] Wishlist item. Where to inquire?

2001-10-31 Thread David

I have two computers testing cooker stuff. I share a monitor and 
keyboard between them. I can't share the mouse, cause when X loses the 
mouse, well you know.

I would figure that XFree86.org would be the best place, but maybe 
someone knows a trick. Think asking XFree86.org to work on this would 
produce any results or would just be a waste of time?

Again, hate to say it, but you can do this in Windows, but Windows 
works differently. I would think it wouldn't be that hard to do, the 
keyboard is shared and it doesn't have a problem switching between the two.
