it's not that hard (for a dual user system :) ) but the how-to tries to cover pretty advanced configurations, so it gets "a little bit" toooooo long. i'll add some intro about what to read for which configuration, but i can not make it smaller (and it'll get even bigger when i get ruby-2.5 running for dual-user on a single card - using framebuffer on Matrox G550 DH) basicly you need only to install the kernel & may be patched XFree, configure XFree for additional input devices(mice) and additional layouts. and setup dm to start the X servers. but that's for 2 users. if one wants to setup 4,5,6 users he'll have to check advanced configuration of input devices, hot-pluging.... plus there are some tweaks( which are of course optional) using different sound cards for the different screens, automatically/manually switching the number of running X servers, different wellcome screens on the different displays best, svetljo
