Excellent.

Now, can anyone see a need for two cursors (or seperate keyboards etc) on one 
physical display?

If not, then the problem pretty much reduces down to, well, nothing.  Just 
making sure X plays nicely with the linuxconsole stuff.  

Am I missing anything?


Btw, what would the overhead be on having the normal display being a VNC 
client, with a VNC server on the same machine?  Just thinking about you could 
have XDM/KDM/GDM launch a VNC client by default... that would make it easier 
for someone to connect to..   Would I be correct in believing there is no way 
of taking my current, non-VNC X session and allowing someone to connect to 
using VNC?
