Re: two keyboards, two monitors, two users, one processor?
This question or ones very like it seem to come up fairly often. Of
cource the critical (and hard) part is driving two video cards. It is
possible. There was an article in LJ a bit ago describing the Metro-X
X server, which can control multiple video cards (though they may have to
be a particular type and/or brand. I don't know how interrupts and the
like fit in the picture (your average video card uses two of them if I
understand correctly). I don't know if XFree has any support for this
sort of thing, or exactly how the kernel would be involved (seems it would
have to be some way...). If anyone finds anything out, please post it to
this list, I am curious also :)
