Tom and I were unable to get this project working,we spent probably 6 hours trying different things before we gave up
Linux/*BSD Desktop Install
I am really looking forward to learning how the lair set up the multi-seating
Install GDM and make X server links
Assuming that you already have xorg installed, also install gdm. Make links to to the X server: /X11R6/bin/X1
for xorg: ln -sf /usr/bin/X /usr/bin/X0 ln -sf /usr/bin/X /usr/bin/X1 3. Make appropriate changes in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
…
# Definition of the standard X server. [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/X1 :0 -layout X1 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice PCI:0:10:0 vt7 flexible=true
…
# Definition of the second X server.
[server-2nd]
name=2nd server
command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice PCI:1:0:0 -sharevts
flexible=true
…
Depending on how many users you will support. The above supports 2. The PCI addresses you get via lspci:
…
00:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2)
…
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x] (rev c1)

Setup xorg.conf for multiple users
Setup the keyboard Input Device sections:
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Phys" "isa0060/serio1/input0"
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
EndSection
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Phys" "isa0060/serio0/input0"
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
EndSection
The Phys option data is gotten from /proc/bus/input/devices The first 2 entries read as follows:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0002 Version=ab83
N: Name=“AT Raw Set 2 keyboard”
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0
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
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=kbd event1
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f840d001 f2ffffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe

Setup the mouse Input Device sections:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "Name" "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 4 5"
Option "Buttons" "12"
EndSection
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
Option "Name" "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 4 5"
Option "Buttons" "12"
EndSection
The Device data is gotten from the same source as the keyboards and reads as follows: I: Bus=000
