ok. that makes a bit more sense. And by KVM he means just keyboard-mouse since he has 2 monitors and does not need the video and/or the video is separated by monitor. I am not sure what he is trying to do given this setup. Depending on what he is trying to do, there may be easier ways to do what he wants. Then the question becomes what will X/wayland allow you to separate. With 2 separate video cards of some sort that should be safer, I am not sure 2 X/wayland instances would play nice with the same video card but underlying 2 monitors.
