I've heard of no one trying, but I (we!) would love to hear whether you get this to work. There is not problem is using two keyboards at the same time, but I am not sure whether X can already handle more than one keyboard attached to a system. I don't think that you can specify the keyboard /dev/ entry int he X configuration. Try looking at the XFree pages. I remember someone asking me whether this would be possible soon in FreeBSD because they were working on support for multiple keyboards. Nick On Thu, 22 Apr 1999, Mikhail Teterin wrote: > Viren R.
