No need to do that - have one Xserver use /dev/wsmouse0 and /dev/wskbd0,
the other /dev/wsmouse1 and /dev/wskbd1 and so on.

For SBus and UPA hardware we have /dev/fb*, but there's no such thing
for PCI framebuffers ( although fb is hardly hardware-specific ). With
wscons we can of course have more than one wsdisplay but XFree currently
doesn't even try to use /dev/ttyF* and MAKEDEV doesn't know about them
either. No idea if multiple multiplexors even work.

have fun
Michael
