[Exeter] Multihead X

[Rob Beard]

Hi folks,

I was thinking today about possibly interesting things to play with at 
the Exeter LUG meetings and one thing I've played with in the past 
(rather unsuccessfully I might add) is multi-head X.

Basically the idea is you have a PC with one or more graphics cards (I 
think it might be possible with multi head graphics cards too but 
without things like 3D or video acceleration) and multiple keyboards and 
mice attached and each display/keyboard/mouse combo have their own 
session.  In a way it's a bit like LTSP but on the one machine.

I was thinking if we had enough hardware (such as PCI graphics cards and 
sound cards) we could maybe try and get something running.  It could be 
a good option to offer to local groups that might want a PC or two (and 
I'd like to get something like this working to stop my kids squabbling 
over who uses the family PC :-P).
