Hi,

I'm using 5-Stable right now.

I wonder if FreeBSD allows me to have two
independent users working on the same PC,
by using two monitors, two keyboards and
two mice, all connected to a single PC.

xorg supports dual-head, which could be
a starting point.

But how about the keyboards and mice?
Should that be one keyboard/mouse pair as PS/2,
and a second pair as USB? How would that
be detected and controlled?

Is such a setup supported by the FreeBSD kernel?
Has someone tried this?

Regards,
Rob.
