Best solution ever seen on Linux: I am using it right now. Have 1 PC running various flavors of Debian, with 2 nvidia video cards, 2 samsung monitors, 2 IBM Model M keyboards, and 2 usb mice. They have patches for 2.4.21, 2.4.22 and are working on 2.6.0 1. I downloaded the 2.4.21 kernel 2. Apply the 2.4.21 kernel patch they have. 3. dist-upgrade to their patched X 4.3.0 4. setup the xserver/XF86Config-4
I run with 2 bootable configs: with xdm on both monitors, but then you cannot switch to vc's, and with xdm on the main monitor. In the latter case you log on as the user that will be on the as yet not started monitor and startx a duplicate X to there. Then you log off and log on yourself. Now you have vc's. In the future it will have vc's on both tubes. And how many internet cafés/schools/homes/etc. have 1 pc per user? Not needed at all: this setup can have up to 16 users per pc. I notice no degradation at all with 2 users. What holds anything back is having only a 56kb modem line, but that is not going to change very soon where I live...
