It seems like the original poster should probably be using two seperate X servers, one for each head. Is it possible to have both heads active at once? If so, that seems like it would be ideal - no need to invent the notion of multiple pointers, but you'd still be able to devote a complete touchscreen to seperate applications. > The only touch screens I've used have been on things like bank ATMs > and information kiosks.

Think about an art program that allows the user to "fingerpaint". The ability to track multiple pointers would be a huge advantage. -- Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Pope has a Water Cannon.
