I think he is after something like a reverse KVM switch.. He wants 1
machine with dual monitors, keyboards and mice..
That's sorta right ;) I got some help from someone on another mailing list so I'll share what I've learned. Basically I'm going to use one regular PS/2 keyboard/mouse and another USB keyboard/mouse which I was told X would detect automatically, and that if it doesn't, I can easily add them to xorg.conf. I'm also going to have two monitors, one hooked up to one video card and one hooked up to another. I'm then going to configure X for dual display (do I need Xinerama for this?) The only thing is that I'm not quite clear yet as to how I'm going to assign the USB keyboard/mouse to the secondary display only while keeping the PS/2 stuff and primary monitor completely seperate. I'll document this as I go along as long as someone's interested.
