I am sure, that you could set multiple "Screen" lines in Xorg.conf. They have to be named 0, 1, 2... If doesn't work, two or more x servers in the same time could do the job for you. (I would pro- bably start them with something like: xinit& xinit :1& xinit :2& ) Anyway, try to lend nasa center. You will use hundred screens at once. Zoran
