Hi

It seems like i am doing the same thing which you were trying to do.
What i did was, i started another X server. so now i have two X servers  sharing the Virtual terminal. I have 2 screens, 2 mouse, 2 graphics card of different manufacturer and one keyboard.

I created 2 different xorg.conf for different graphics card with different resources allocated. when i boot the system up by default OS takes one xorg..conf and run one x server on one graphics card.

Now when i start second X server i pass second xorg.conf as parameter in startx which results in running x server on second screen. I can see them simultaneously but the second X server now has control of second mouse, which was expected  but first X server has lost the control of first mouse rather i would say that the first X server is freezed and i can not do any thing in the first screen.

Do you have any clue why has it happened.
did u find any solution for this kind of issue

I will really appreciate your responce.
Thanks

You need to read the changelog for X.  Recently the behaviour of
xorg.conf change.  The keyboard and mouse sections are ignored unless
you use some special thing (I forget what) because they want it all
autoconfigured by default.
