#2 Usable Multihead Console

[Anonymous]

It would be excellent if linux users who plant themselves in console could run a multihead setup in their comfortable space. However you boys wanna pull that off. Have tty1,2, and 3 operate one head, and tty4,5, and 6, another. And the ability to view more than a single console at once.

The hard thing now is, IIRC, creating multiple framebuffer
devices. Event handling shouldn't be too much work.

However, I would feel more for writing an input driver for
X, which uses the event interface instead of the kernel
keyboard interface. Include a patch so X doesn't switch
consoles immediatly, and you can effectively run multiple X
servers without the ruby patch.
