Hello,

has anybody had any success running two X servers, for two VGA cards
in one computer, simultaneously? (I know someone has, but I haven't
and I don't know what the preconditions are.)

I know about Xinerama but that's not what I want. I would like two X
servers so that each can have a different mouse, and perhaps even a
different keyboard (there's a patched server somewhere on the net that
should allow this, but as I said, I've had no success).

Every time I tried, either the X server that was started first froze
in the moment the other started, or the two servers mixed their
output on one screen. I tried with various ATI and S3 cards, AGP&PCI
(in either order) or just 2xPCI, but the result was the same. (Of
course, I used BusID in the config to distinguish the cards.)

BTW, since PCI VGA's are nearly extinct, has anyone seen a mainboard
with more than one AGP slot? Is there a reason why they couldn't
exist? Or is this simply a dead end?

Thanks for any replies.
