Re: [XFree86] SiS315 Dual Head separate x servers/WMs

you are misunderstanding "normal" multihead.  what it means is that you
have two independant screens (you can run different apps, WM's, etc on
them, but you can't drag windows between them) with a shared set of
input devices.  xinerama binds the two independant screens into one
large, logical screen.  there is no way, without patches, to have
separate independant screens with their own independant input devices.

Hi!
Thanx for the answer.
I understand from you that this only be possible with patched kernel
and xfree86.
The text from Tomas Winischhofer site i was thinking about with mode
"Normal" was the \
following.

"XFree86 supports two different dual-head modes: "Normal", where you
get two \
independent screens (and two X sessions), and "Xinerama" where these
two screens are \
virtually one. Please see the documentation on Xfree86.org for more
information..."

The Normal mode is exactly what i'm looking for if it's possible.
What is unsure is if i'm able to start different window managers in the
independent \
screens and if can force the keyboard and mouse to only operate on one
of them.

I've already got a pci graphics card on the shelf so maby i'll try to
start patching \
things up trying it the hard way.
