    huh ??? kernel patches is not needed for dual display or dual keyboards
    but guess there's reasons for it ... though i'm confused why

    with dual display ... you have several choices...

    if you want 2 independent users on one PC ...
            - one kb, one mouse, one display for user1
            - another kb, another mouse, another display for user2

    another choice ..
        xinerama:
            - you want xterm in one display to be able to drag and drop into
            the other display

        if xinerama is turned off
            xterm DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 disply on monitor1
            xterm DISPLAY=localhost:0.1 disply on monitor2

            the xterms cannot be moved to the other monitor

    if you leave xinerama out of the XF86Config, you can startx with and
    without xinerama

            startx -- +xinerama

    guess i dont understand what you are trying to do with 2 X binaries

    and for more hair pulling, try to get mplayer to display 1/2 of its
    pictures on each othe the monitors .. :-) ( on the todo list )
