Re: [Xorg] Local Multi Users

Works perfectly for me, once it's configured. uptime 7 days or so on
this workstation, no X crashes. Sure getting 4 seperate video cards up
might be tricky, but I've found your mainboard might have something to
do with it, as I found an Intel P4 Desktop board almost totally
incompatible.

MSI + Gigabyte, thumbs up so far, Intel Workstation and Server class
hardware might be another matter, but I don't trust the Intel Desktop
boards to be fully compatible outside of fairly generic configurations.

Trying out some things like starting 2003 server under VMware and
dedicating a console to it on  my Linux server. ( It's work ) 

Most of the problems I've had were basically the same as multi-head X.

The apparent initialisation inconsistency is solved for me by having an
Xinemera config that is probed before the X server. In short, if it
works for Xinimera, I'm expecting it to work with multi-console ruby,
because although at first I found the initialisation a speedbump ( I
only did a quick skim of docs), that's basically where it's at for me. I
haven't tried using bunches of different cards, but I found that when
using different cards, I had the same problems as I did with Xinimera.
