Have you checked the existing HOWTOs? I'm sure I saw something somewhere,
maybe it wasn't a HOWTO, that explained how to use more than one video

Back in the 90's I was playing with *INX alot and knew where to find
bunches of HOWTO's, but not anymore. Can you direct me?

The limitation is likely the hardware. I don't know how video cards are
addressed, but if they require the same address, that's a problem.
Likewise, up until USB, there wasn't really any good way of adding
multiple keyboards.

Traditionally, Unix was never used with built in video, it used serial
ports to connect to terminals. Doing it your way would be a modern
way.

Yea, I know there is this company, ThinSoft, that does EXACTLY what I
want to do, but he OS is Windows, not *NIX. The problem is that the
kiosk stations simply need to run a web browser, I don't see any
reason to drop $100 for an OS simply to run a web browser;) Here is
the link to ThinSoft's solution called BeTwin 2000/XP:

Now to find the same thing for Linux, or any flavor of *NIX.
