I have a question which Linux users can answer and wondering if freebsd can come up with a simpler implementation. Groovix (the company) devised a Linux system that multiple users can connect to at one time. Thus...4 screens, 4 keyboards, 4 mice ect... Then there is "Backstreet Ruby" for linux and a lot of kernel patches included that can convert a linux kernel to a multi-user system aswell. I'm set up with the task of implementing this system on a freebsd system This is my first encounter with bsd and am impressed, yet I have a few problems when trying to implement the Multi-User Xsessions. The USB keyboards are seen but can not be declared as the CoreKeyboards in the Xorg.conf. The only way I got to get the other keyboards to work was to use kbdcontrol and give full control of the consol to a spesific keyboard. Which beats the purpose. And then the other thing...I still have to learn how to start multiple independent sessions of X on different screens. Any help would be greatly apreciated...May even buy you a diital beer. :) Thanks Tertius van Zyl
