RE: [Thinstation-developer] Dual Head Support

had a look at ruby first actually.  also suggests some xserver modifications
if the hackvideo option doesn't work.  actually couldn't get it to work, so
went the other path anyhow.

>From docs....

"The experimental way": you can use the "hackvideo"(ignoring pci_disable
XFree commands) feature of the Backstreet Ruby kernel. This will allow you
to use the XFree server that came with your distribution (no need for
installing modified XFree server).



ruby seems just as hackish as what I'm currently doing.  is there any work
being done on a better supported way?

Hello Miles,

I find the solution for multiterminal on google and I found this page (in
portoghese) http://www.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiterminal/casos.php and
http://www.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiterminal/howto-pt.php for use with 4 keyboards,
4 mouses and 4 monitors. 

They use this patch for kernel (http://startx.times.lv/), this X config
(http://www.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiterminal/XF86Config-4) and this documents:
http://linuxconsole.sourceforge.net/
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO/index.html
http://startx.times.lv/index.html


Good hacking.

Marco Sinhoreli
