When using a pen/tablet input device with drawing software and using a mouse for window management. Or when useing a CAD/GIS digitizing puck. Both of these applications though, you can include the special purpose input device in your application software and constrain the pointer for it to your application window, thus allowing the application to handle it. 2 keyboards may be necessary for embedded stuff like aeroplane flight controls with keypads in many places, but then you're probably not using *NIX for that anyways. Might also be handy for Non-linear sound/video editing. > Btw, what would the overhead be on having the normal display being a VNC > client, with a VNC server on the same machine? For most apps it would probably be OK, but anything with OpenGL, you just wouldn't want to do it. You also wouldn't want to do it on a slightly out of date computer. > ...

You would be correct, unless someone has written an X server with a VNC Server built in. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
