huh ??? kernel patches is not needed for dual display or dual keyboards

command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X0 :0 -layout X0 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice
\"PCI:1:0:0\" vt7
on the one that drives the AGP and
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X1 :1 -layout X1 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice
\"PCI:0:11:0\" vt17
with dual display ... you have several choices...
if you want 2 independent users on one PC ...
- one kb, one mouse, one display for user1
- another kb, another mouse, another display for user2
another choice ..
xinerama:
- you want xterm in one display to be able to drag and drop into
the other display
if xinerama is turned off
xterm DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 disply on monitor1
xterm DISPLAY=localhost:0.1 disply on monitor2
the xterms cannot be moved to the other monitor
if you leave xinerama out of the XF86Config, you can startx with and
without xinerama
startx -- +xinerama
guess i dont understand what you are trying to do with 2 X binaries
and for more hair pulling, try to get mplayer to display 1/2 of its
pictures on each othe the monitors .. :-) ( on the todo list )
