You should have two separate video cards!

Any video device is binded with 16 /dev/tty's.
If You will run secondary X, I recomend add VGA and dummy console.
VGA binded with /dev/tty1-16
Dummy binded with /dev/tty17-32.

First X server start with "startx -- :0 vt7"
Second                    "startx -- :1 -xf86config XF-2-nd vt17"
Third shold have another dummy device.

I busy to test current "ruby".
If You have feeling "start ruby is impossible mission", You can
try another older version.


My version work on my two comps aprox 1 month.
User comp - 2 TNT2 M64 (PCI), 2 PS/2 keyboards, 2 serial mice.
With Athlon 1600 and 256Mb RAM kids can run all bunch of IDsoftware -
quake2,quake3,return to castle wolfenstein. These works simultaneous
through loopback driver can emulate net gaming.
All office apps work fine simultaneous.

Trouble is various. GLX samtimes hung up system.
Keyboard samtimes lack - X restart help.
USB keyboard incompatible with ALSA.

My patch against 2.4.18
My version has 8 tty's per video device.
You shouldn't use any framebuffer device.
