Hi, I am looking for people who tried (or can try) the following setup with a dualhead VGA card (like Matrox 450/550, Radeon VE and others) or with 2 VGA cards:
I would like to be able to run two completely independant X sessions for 2 users on the same computer. One would use the normal PS/2 keyboard and mouse while the second user would use a USB mouse and keyboard. With all my experiments I was only able to use different modes of cloning or Xinerama or multiscreen for the same session. Also using more than one keyboard/mouse for one session is possible (with the SendCoreEvents options). However, I was not able to define two Layouts (one for each set of screen/keyboard/mouse) that would give independant displays (:0 and :1 for example). The X server (XFree86 4.2.0) always just takes the first Layout section and ignores the others. Furthermore, on my Matrox G450, if I try to start X on the secondary display only, it just doesn't work. X complains about a missing definition for Screen 0 (the secondary display is Screen 1). So, did anybody make such a setup or wants to do it or is researching the same or has any ideas ? I would like to know wether it works before buying a USB keyboard :-) Schlomo -- Schlomo Schapiro Senior System Administrator MobilEye Vision Technologies Ltd. 24 Mishol Hadkalim St.,97278 Jerusalem, Israel Telephone: + 972-2-586-6989 Ext. 131 Mobile: + 972-55-767898 Fax: + 972-2-586-7720 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.mobileye.com ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
