A friend of mine was asking about this recently. How feasable is this?
Is it possible with our current stuff to run this sort of setup? X wouldn't
mind having two instances of itself running? Wscons could deal with this?

Is attaching a particular keyboard and mouse to a particular X server just
a matter of telling each server to look at a different XF86Config file? The
only problem here is that there doesn't appear to be an analog for keyboards
to the "Device" parameter for mice.

It would be interesting to get this sort of thing working, anyway.
