Thanks. > Well, I do not KNOW how to do it, but because of the lack of response, I will try to give you some pointers. In your xorg.conf file, you will need to define 2 device entries - one for each card. You will need to use BusID to specify the card you are defining. I believe you will also need to define 2 monitor sections. You are going to want at least 4 InputDevice definitions - one for each keyboard and mouse. You will then need to create 2 Screen sections. This is where you define the monitor and video card pair. You put all the pieces together in the ServerLayout sections. You will want to have one for each "terminal". This should finish the things you need in xorg.conf. The names you give in each ServerLayout section will be use to start an X server. You will need two of them running - one for each "terminal". Now comes the part that I am really hazy about. You have to define 2 local X servers in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers You will probably want to use :0 and :1 for the server numbers. I think that you would use something like this: :0 server0 local /usr/bin/X :0 :1 server1 local /usr/bin/X :1 where server0 and server1 are the names given in the ServerLayout sections of xorg.conf. You can find more information in the xorg.conf, X, and xdm man pages. I hope this points you in the right direction.
