Hi there.

I'm trying to get xdm to display login prompts on two seperate consoles,
using DIFFERENT X servers, each one using a DIFFERENT mouse to get around
the apparent problem of xdm not allowing the same mouse to be shared.

I've played around with /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers, to look something
like

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/Xaccel :1

but this causes all sorts of horrible problems, making the machine
horribly unstable. I hope someone out there can help!

I've looked in the -questions archive, and can't find anything. I've tried
the xdm man page, and according to that, the above should work - but it
doesn't :-(

 TIA,

---
