Hi all,
Apologies in advance if this is a question that's already been answered somewhere... I'm looking for a way to install multiple (or rather, two) PCI/AGP cards in a machine and connect a monitor to each one, and use them both *in console mode* - preferably with some nice way to say 'assign virtual console 2 to the first screen, and 5 to the second' - that way you could have one tailing log files, showing 'top', whatever. A quick search of the web/newsgroups turned up various patches that looked ideal, but a closer inspection revealed that they either relied on you having a Hercules mono card, or only applied against kernel <0.99, or both... I was just wondering if anyone's thought about/written a similar patch for more recent hardware/versions? I was using a console Linux machine running BB (ASCII art demo - http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/) just to attract attention to our stand today and was thinking it would be really neat to have one machine driving several screens...
