As it happens, I JUST stumbled across something covering /exactly/ what |
| 14 |
you are wanting to do! It's with the 6.9/7.0 xorg, so you'll have to be |
| 15 |
running at least the betas for that, but it looks fairly simple to |
| 16 |
configure, after that. Simply setup layouts (and the usual subordinate |
| 17 |
sections as necessary, note that compatible video cards is a must) for |
| 18 |
each station's config in xorg.conf, then test each layout using the |
| 19 |
described procedure, and then either start each server manually (using the |
| 20 |
command string given) as needed, or setup your display manager as |
| 21 |
described. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The blog entry doesn't mention setting up the device sections. I'm not |
| 24 |
sure if that's an oversight, or if, given "compatible" video cards, that's |
| 25 |
no longer necessary. It's possible you'll need to set that up separately |
| 26 |
for each layout, as well. |

Here's the link to the short rootprompt.org blurb, where I originally |
| 29 |
discovered it (I have their rss feed running in knewsticker). It in turn |
| 30 |
links to the mini-howto in "Chris Tyler's Blog". |

He says try back in about February, if this is still too complex (or you |
| 35 |
don't want to go bleeding edge xorg), and there may be an easier way with |
| 36 |
the full release. Still, this looks fairly simple, for those already used |
| 37 |
to messing with their xorg.conf, anyway. |
