Re: Xephyr on AMD64 Etch a.k.a multiseat

["Jaime Ochoa Malagón" <chptma@gmail.com>]

I do a few atemps but not really success...

If you have multiple video cards listen ti Lennart...

If you have only one video card Xephyr seems the right option, and I
suggest try first with the original patched code in a chroot,

If I understand clearly the trick is configure NOT MOUSE to X beacuse
Xephyr should use it raw...

good luck

let us know success :-)
