With your reference to two touch screens I'm beginning to see why you ask, but I don't understand what you would expect the X server to do with two pointers*. X only has the concept of one pointer and one focus (usually the window in which you can type). How would you use 2 pointers ? * I do see the point in using two mice, scroll-wheels or trackballs: to allow applications to control more things. -- Dr. Andrew C.
