On 15-Jun-98 SAVE MY WALRUS spoke unto us all:
# Ya know, it just kind of dawned on me that with the right memory mapping
# strategy, it would be possible to have three or four screens in memory,
# mappable as X:0.0, X:0.1, etc.  One could thus run four virtual displays
# on one physical monitor.  I know about virtual desktops, but I was thinking
# it would be quite nice to be able to have an XDM on screens 1-3, and the
# raw console on screen 0.
# 

I'm assuming for a moment here, but I think the new wscons will (can?) do this.
 And eventually aren't all ports going to use wscons?  I know other people have
asked me on occasion "why doesnt netbsd sparc have virtual consoles? linux
does!"

Groan..
