If you want these to be 3 separate root windows with the
cursor confined to one of them, XFree86 can probably already
do that. A "ServerLayout" like the following:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "DualHead"
Screen 0 "ScreenY" 0 0
Screen 1 "ScreenY1" 0 0
Screen 2 "ScreenY2" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
probably does that already since there are no "LeftOf" etc...
to tell the server how to route the cursor when it goes offscreen,
so it ends up getting stuck on screen 0.
Mark.
