Hi,

Has anybody looked into multiple screens, mice and keyboards with X on
a single machine running FreeBSD? So that more than one person can work
simultaneously on it. We are thinking about using such a setup for a
computer litteracy project in our rural areas.

We have a student playing with it and he can get the different screens
with different mice running one at a time. But we can't get them
running simultaneously and can get different keyboards running.

Any help and ideas welcome. :-)

I have not seen more than one keyboard connected to a machine delivering the output to different screens.

What we do is a bit different but results in the same. Just take older machines and use them as thin-clients. Every thin-client has one keyboard, one mouse and one screen.

One server provides then the computing power, connectivity to the Internet, storage and all the other resources you need.

As older machines are normally available for free, it should not be a real problem to use this kind of setup.
