Hi!
I want to connect several monitors, keyboards and mice to a single computer to make it usable for several people. The aim is to provide an X session for each of the people, thus getting the cheapest available X terminal on the market. :) I don't need Xinerama, I don't want to glue screens together, just one monitor, keyboard, mouse per each person.
I chose USB keyboards, USB mice and Matrox G450 MMS for the project, but due to MMS's limited availability I ended up with a single chip G450 PCI. Inside the machine there is currently a G450 AGP and two(!) G450 PCI graphics cards. I set up the kernel to be multi-head, so there are fb0 .. fb5 devices in /dev/fb directory.
I've tried to configure X without much success (I'm still working on it), so I decided to give (X)DirectFB a chance. I was able to run df_X with --dfb:fbdev=/dev/fb/Y. It displayedcorrectly, run fast :) The "only" thing what should be solved, to make DirectFB use only one mouse and one keyboard. The devices are present in /dev/input/ as eventZ, but currently input from all the mice are accepted by DirectFB, and so is the case with the keyboards.
The question is: How can I command DirectFB to use for example /dev/input/event0 as the keyboard and /dev/input/event1 as the mouse?
I hope you can help me with answering this question, or maybe you can tell me how can I achieve the goal with another way.
Thank you in advance!
