Yes!  I have 2 matrox cards running fbdev, hooked to 2 monitors, a ps/2 
keyboard, and a USB keyboard working as /dev/InputX (acutally i have a ATI 
card and a 3rd monitor, but not enough PCI slots... had to take out to get 
the USB card in :)

I currently also have GGI running and use "tile" to tile across the 2 
monitors.

If you port evstack to the ix86, i'll test it on a recent 2.3.x

and if it works, i can start tossing all those old 386's i've been keeping 
around to use as dumb Xterms/clients. :)
