Hello,

I have several mice, keyboards, and monitors/graphic cards attached to my gentoo ~amd64 machine at once. I created a server layout using all mice, keyboards, and monitors. X (x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6) works like a charm.

However, I wanted to split the mice, monitors, and keyboards to workplaces. For example the first mouse, the first keyboard and the first Monitor for workplace1 and the rest for workplace2. Both workplaces should allow to operate independently from the other. For example I am logged in and working on workplace1. Them a friend drops by, logs in on workplace2 WHILE i am working on workplace1

So I separated my xorg.conf into two layouts. One for workplace1 and one for workplace2. However, I could not attach the keyboards to different vt's. Therfore, if I choose to have workplace1 on vt7 and workplace2 on vt8, I can use either workplace1 or workplace2. Not both of them simultaneously.

I found several patches for X, but after applying them, X did not compile. I also found the „Backstreet Ruby kernel” mentioned several times -- these pages however date back to 2003.

Does anybody on the list have such a configuration or can point me to further resources?
