Does the trick.

But the keyboards are backwards. I.e. the one in front
of monitor1 works on monitor2 and vv. The mice work
correctly.

I changed /etc/hotplug/kbd.conf (vanilla Debian now)
but that seemed to have no effect. cat
/proc/bus/input/devices shows:
/Tue Aug 30-10:49:48HDA8# cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0002 Version=ab83
N: Name="AT Raw Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0 ftty0 
B: EV=120013 
B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f840d001 f2ffffdf ffefffff
ffffffff fffffffe 
B: MSC=10 
B: LED=7 

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event1 ftty1 
B: EV=120013 
B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f840d001 f2ffffdf ffefffff
ffffffff fffffffe 
B: MSC=10 
B: LED=7 

Also the mouse on monitor1 (=TNT2 AGP with Nvidia
driver and evdev protocol) traces garbage. The mouse
on monitor 2 does not (=MX-440 PCI)

Looks like an elegant solution.
