Can speak much about syscons I would just ignore if I had two X servers however if you are planning a dual console system I don't know if it will work your best is to ask Soren who is the original author of syscon. The mouse stuff shouldn't be too much of a problem from the X server perspective it thinks that it is talking to a serial device. Cheers, Amancio > Viren R.
