well, I've done some more research, and it turns out that it's already
been done.

The linuxconsole project (linuxconsole.sourceforge.org) has done this, and
they've got a back-patch for kernel 2.4.19 and XFree86 4.2.0. However, I
can't download either of them...possibly because of being in New Zealand
or something. I dunno.

What they did is extend the Linux console system so that all the virtual
terminals use different keyboards. You just start multiple instances of X
on whichever virtual terminal corresponds to the keyboard you want. I've
heard it's pretty stable.

If anyone manages to download the 2.4.19 patch and the X patch, can they
email them to me, or possibly mirror the patches somewhere I'd be forever
grateful. It's the ruby patch at:
