[K12OSN] Multiple heads...

[robert pogson]

Thank you, John for your kind words.

I found a  PCI video card laying around but the box would not boot
with it plugged in. Apparently it is a dud. I will have to buy one to
try. I did manage to get two login screens showing at once from
different VTs and I can login in two users at once, one on each VT, 
but they use the same mouse and keyboard acting on the screen being
displayed. I may have to make up my own XF86Config to define the two
"screens". This is a big effort for one client, but I hope to equip a
whole school with approximately 100 simultaneous users so this would
cut the number of thin client machines by 50, perhaps saving $10000
that we can spend on the server or peripherals. GNU/LInux/LTSP/K12LTSP
just lets us put the money in the right places. Besides, it is fun.

There are various solutions out there, to allow you to connect
multiple keyboards, mice and monitors to a single box, but none of
those methods are integrated into LTSP.
