People keep asking for 2 pointers. With your reference to two touch
screens I'm beginning to see why you ask, but I don't understand 
what you would expect the X server to do with two pointers*.

X only has the concept of one pointer and one focus (usually the window
in which you can type). How would you use 2 pointers ?

* I do see the point in using two mice, scroll-wheels or trackballs:
to allow applications to control more things.
