_Update:  _

With the card in DTUB (has kbd and mouse in it), the dtlogin is displayed on DTUA and the kbd and mouse on DTUB don't work.

If I remove the card and insert it into DTUA, the dtlogin moves to DTUB and the mouse pointer can be moved, but cannot interact with dtlogin. The kbd does nothing.

With no card inserted the dtlogin moves to DTUA, and the keyboard and mouse on DTUB don't work.

NB. Keyboard and mouse are Dell and Logitech, but the initual multihead config was done with the same keyboard and mouse, which worked then.

I have tried to setup a 2x1 multihead policy for two DTUs. However, one DTU is inaccessable by users because it is in the conputer room, and the other is accessable by users in the operations room. One keyboard and mouse plugged into the DTU in the Operations Room. We only want the users to use one smartcard reader. I thought that this would be a simple task, but my three attempts have simply driven me crazy. Have anybody got any ideas on why it is impossible to assign keytboard control between the two DTUs.

NS. There is only one keyboard and mouse for the two DTUs.

*Attempt 1*
Set up two DTUs in a 2x1 multihead policy. [DTUA and DTUB]
Started utumhconfig on DTUA and set policy up. DTUA is on righthandside.
Moved smartcard to DTUB. DTUB is on lefthandside.
Removed smartcard and put into DTUA.
Keyboard and mouse are then plugged into DTUA.


Results: utmhconfig automatically put keyboard control on lefthandside (DTUB). This is not what we want because DTUA is in the conputer room and DTUB is in the users' Operational Centre.


*Attempt 2*
Set up two DTUs in a 2x1 multihead policy. [DTUA and DTUB]
Started utumhconfig on DTUB and set policy up. DTUB is set to lefthandside.
Moved smartcard to DTUA. DTUA is set to righthandside.
Smartcard is already in DTUA so don't have to move it.
Keyboard and mouse are already plugged into DTUA.

Results:  utmhconfig automatically put keyboard control on lefthandside!
This is not what we want because DTUA is in the conputer room and DTUB is in the users' Operational Centre.

*Attempt 3*
Physically swapped DTUAs position with DTUB.
Plugged keyboard into DTU in the operations centre.

Results: The keyboard and mouse control have magically moved to the opposite DTU!!!! WTF. I physically moved the DTUs from one room to another. How is this possible?

I tried attempt 3 again, incase I had mixed up the two DTUs when I pshyically swapped their positions, but got the same results!
