As I recall, all intel chips from the i830 and up can drive two independant heads. However, there is currently no support for it in the xfree86 driver. I don't know whether it is due to lack of specs or lack of developer time. Alex --- David_Härdeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I rece

One very simple use of two mice and two cursors would be the use of the same computer by two people. I often find myself working at something together with someone else when we keep passing the mouse over to eachother when it would be a whole lot simpler and more effective if we both had a mous
