Yes, I guess we would have to do a kind of "template" (not the right word but..) and then assign each tty to the template, telling which monitor(s) can display that tty. Then we add some keys to select which monitor we want to control with the next key sequence. And of course some keys to swap ttys ..
Hmm unfortunatley, I'm not quite sure I'm good enough in C to do it by myself .. I'll look the sources and look what could be done. I'm almost sure the author is working on it too ...
well thanx for reading (and replying..) Antoine Reid fluke@Mlink.NET
