Hi! I have an ATI FireGL X1 in my computer. I'd like to set up a second X server, with a separate keyboard and mouse (actually, I plan to use a KVM switch, but you get the point). The reason I want to do this is so that I can run "Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" on one X server, and ssh to the game host on a nearby (but not nearby enough) computer via the second X server (plus read my email, etc.). CTRL-ALT-F<1..5> causes the X server to get all pissed off at me, so that's not an option. I think I can figure out getting a second X server running, but the mystery is this: first, how do I get the computer to realize that it has two USB keyboard and two USB mice, and second, how do I bind one set of input devices to each X server? I know this is possible, but I have no idea where to begin. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, -Tim _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
