I currently have a Logitech Cordless MX mouse+keyboard, another Logitech keyboard, but not cordless, and a Microsoft intellimouse explorer. Everything USB. Work like a charm all at once. USB2 has great potential, yknow...

Something very close to this is possible by modifying /etc/X11/XF86Config so that there exist several VGA-card - monitor pairs, and then defining several screens (see manpage). Also you can use Xinerama, but I personally had almost no experience with that extension, so I cannot say anything. And if you want to run several thin-client-likes, it would probably require to load several X servers (but still there're problems with config files and memory usage) > > More or less what X (protocol) was designed to do, essentially, wasnt > it? > > Anyway, the only thing that might be tricky would be keyboards.

The problem lies here: how to split several USB mice and keyboards among several servers? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
