It's with the 6.9/7.0 xorg, so you'll have to be running at least the betas for that, but it looks fairly simple to configure, after that. Simply setup layouts (and the usual subordinate sections as necessary, note that compatible video cards is a must) for each station's config in xorg.conf, then test each layout using the described procedure, and then either start each server manually (using the command string given) as needed, or setup your display manager as described. The blog entry doesn't mention setting up the device sections. I'm not sure if that's an oversight, or if, given "compatible" video cards, that's no longer necessary. It's possible you'll need to set that up separately for each layout, as well. Here's the link to the short rootprompt.org blurb, where I originally discovered it (I have their rss feed running in knewsticker). It in turn links to the mini-howto in "Chris Tyler's Blog". http://rootprompt.org/article.php3?article=9446 He says try back in about February, if this is still too complex (or you don't want to go bleeding edge xorg), and there may be an easier way with the full release. Still, this looks fairly simple, for those already used to messing with their xorg.conf, anyway. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
