I don't know if this can be done but I'm trying to see whether I can
get two independent displays and two independent mice working.  I'm
using Redhat 7.3 with Xfree 4.2.0 and a matrox g450 dual head card.

Basically, I have two monitors and two mice hooked up (a serial and a
ps/2) and I want one mouse and its associated cursor to work on one
screen independent of the other mouse.  ie. two independent cursors
working on two independent screens.  Is this even possible?
