is anyone using a multi-seated configuration with CentOS?
I'm thinking about buying a two 2 headed nvidia card to run 4 separate monitors and 4 separate keyboards and mice. I don't mind using either proprietary or opensource nvidia drivers.
I'm looking for more information regarding centos and multiseated configurations. I've read a bit about fedora and ubuntu with multiseating, but I haven't found much with CentOS.
I'm fairly new to this so I would need pretty good documentation / hand holding to accomplish this.
It's pretty trivial on CentOS. Check these links: http://wpkg.org/Configuring_multiseat_X_workstation http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Multiseat
The Nvidia binary drivers work fine. The main thing you're doing is defining an extra keyboard and mouse attached to each Screen entry in the xorg.conf file. Restart X and voila...
This works easily with USB keyboard/mouse...
