But what are you plugging your 2nd keyboard and monitor into? You can certainly run two or more xserver sessions by sending them to different displays, I often do it to show people what the GNOME / KDE desktop looks like while I'm working on elightenment on another display. Something like: startx gnome -0:1 (see the man page for proper syntax). You can switch between them with Alt+F7. If you mean they can use your login and see your session and you have some hardware to do that (ie. that sends the same output to two monitors but accepts two different keyboard inputs), then I guess there would be no problem with the machine running two different xserver outputs and each person working in their seperate session. Maybe you should investigate thin clients?! k. On Thursday, October 26, 2000 8:26 PM, Gary Kline [SMTP:kline@thought.org] wrote:
It is possible to run a 2nd tube and a 2nd keyboard, say, 75 feet from my SuSE box so that others in my family can use the same HW plaform? This would include using X, of course. It strikes me that since unix in multiuser, that there ought to be a way do to this...
