Now that would be an interesting project - a single instance of X, but |
| 12 |
split between two different users, each on a separate monitor. I agree |
| 13 |
it's not feasible now, as xorg runs as the owning user. I would expect |
| 14 |
Wayland has the same restriction. Actually, I would find it |
| 15 |
interesting to have a separate session on each monitor just in plain |
| 16 |
text mode. |

Was the second graphics card you tried using also PCIE? If so, I |

wonder if you might get it to work with a PCI card as the second |

graphics card. |
