Could please send me your experiences with that setup?

There is some sort of plugin on freshmeat that extends your desktop that
way - you get desktop on two monitors and when your mouse comes to the
edge of one of them your active monitor switches to the other.
And when your run two X-servers on two /dev/fb's you can ran them on
different consoles ( alt-F9 agp, alt-f10 pci ), this is the way I set it
up.
And wait, when you get two mice keyboards and monitors.. why don't get
another comp? besides, you can write only on one k-board without problems,
so another k-board would be just a case a case of - how fast can i move to
another k-board, or maybe it's faster to press alt-sth ?
I've got also a question about additional pointing devices with X,
there is some option about it in config, anyone knows anything?
