3 users using X simultaneously with only 1 cpu


Hi to all, my boss bought a hardware that has 3 videoport,3 keyboard port and 3 mouse port.The name of the hardware is multihead. He wants me to setup 1 cpu and 3 users to use X at the same time each with their own keyboard, X and mouse. Does anyone of you already done this? Can anyone of you direct me to any howto? Anyyhing I need to install or configure?

It should be like this but with only one cpu

i think you're clearly confusing cpu's and computers...

either way, google has plenty to say on the matter, e.g. http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index....11R6.97.0.html which is actually a link on the page you've posted there... did you not read even it?
