1 Hi,
2
3 I have dual head nvidia card and like to make dual seat gentoo box.
4 (i.e. two people can work simultaneously, using their own monitor+mouse+kbd)
5
6 I met these problems:
7 1. one X window server can work only with one mouse, kbd and VGA card
8 2. nvidia driver doesn't allow to run two X servers on single dual head card
9
10 I configured Xorg.conf for two semi independent screens (signed as
11 :0.0 and :0.1),
12 but didn't succeed to attach extra kbd/mouse to them.
13 (I can run e.g. mplayer on one screen in "fullscreen" mode and work on
14 the other,
15 but still using one mouse+kbd.)
16
17 I got inspired by this link:
18 http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/~jori/page/index.php?n=Misc.DualSeatX
19
20 So I have to compile Xgl, run it on both screens and then attach extra
21 mouse + kbd to them via XevdevServer.
22
23 Does anybody know how to compile Xgl on Gentoo box ?
24
25 TIA.
