Dear friends,

i wanted to use VMs in VBOX or VMWARE PLAYER as follows:

1) 2 PCI-E dual-head cards
2) 4 monitors, each one connected to a different head
3) 4 mice and keyboard 9all USB)

And run 4 VMs in parallel, so that each VM has exclusive hold of a monitor,
a mouse and a keyboard, and that such setup be maintained between launches,
ie, wihtout messing with dynamically allocated resources. As far as I have
checked, one cannot preclude the VM from recognizing USB mice and keyboards,
in a way that each mouse be allocated to a different VM, and not be
recognized in the other VMs.

It would remind some of us of a similar hardware solution composed of PCI
cards containing a VGA port and two USB ports for connecting mouse/kb, so
that each PCI card in fact becomes a separate instance of the OS.

Can such a setup be achieved with VBOX, VMWARE or PARLLELS ?

Cheers,
