virtual computer for every monitor
alright i was wondering where i could find out how to use one single computer with x number of monitors to have it's own virtual computer for each monitor without the virtual computers messing with each other.
i remember reading about this somewhere and just recently remembered it when my job started taking suggestions for saving time and money.
any info can help or even just a point in the right direction, and yes before you send me a link i have googled it.

The biggest challenge was to get pci based graphic cards, and then configuring the system to startup the various terminals as well as map the keyboards, mices and screen to match.
I can't find the url for the document and picture I saw long ago, but you can search for multiseat multihead linux and this should yeild some kind of results.
Here's a site I digged: http://www.multiseatcomputer.be/. It's not in English but the pictures are clear enough to answer your question.
If you are talking about running multiple x sessions and sending each of those to a different monitor that is a different beast. I don't have any experience with that now have I seen it.
The multiple monitor configuration can be tricky depending on your knowledge and distro you are on. I know on Ubuntu you need to edit the xorg.conf file on your own. There are some GUI tools for ti but none of them have been successful for me.
Please post your solution if you find one. I'm sure most people are interested!
