I had considered doing that - I believe that some of the framebuffer code supports multiple heads as well(?) - but in this particular case it wasn't appropriate - the whole point was to demonstrate what could be achieved using only a command line ;-) Also, though, on dedicated servers etc. I'd rather not be running X if I didn't have to. Would this be a particularly difficult thing to implement as a kernel patch? I'd like to try to get involved in kernel development at some point and am looking for something to ease myself in slowly - preferably something useful but unimportant ;-) Are there any show stoppers involved here - or does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Simon
