Thank you for the reply.

I have the multihead setup working. But yes, what I want is something
else. I need Screen0,Keyboard0,Touch0 working together; and I need
Screen1,Keyboard0,Mouse0 working together. Our goal is to have a full
screen app running on each screen without one pointer taking focus from
the other.

I figured I might need two X servers running, but it was hard enough
scraping up the info to do the dualhead. How would I run two Xservers and
how would they share the keyboard??

With the dualhead config one server had the keyboard. I just want the
mouse and touch panel to only work with thier respective screens.

Thanks,
John
