To follow-up on myself: I configured xorg.conf to identify the two devices and defined a single screen on each. With this configuration, ratpoison v1.4.9 works fine with the two monitors on the first card. The other monitor is found by the X server and I can move the mouse over there. It is controlled by another server (e.g. one has DISPLAY=:13.0 and the other :13.1). I can explicitly start up an xterm, say, on the third monitor by typing a command elsewhere but I cannot get focus over there.
If I try to start a window manager over on the 3rd monitor, it doesn't work: ratpoison says "there can be only one" ;-) and fluxbox simply says that a window manager is already running. Also, if I move the mouse over to the 3rd monitor, it cannot be moved back. It would seem that ratpoison has lost some functionality with multiple X servers? thanks, eric -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 26.0.50 + Gnus v5.13
