[ale] USB on Linux?

[randy.dunlap at intel.com (Dunlap, Randy)]

I think there are 2 answers to this.

You can use multiple USB keyboards and mice now (2.3.x),
but they are all merged into the same input stream
(all keyboards; all mice).  This won't exactly
give you a 2-user system.

My (limited) understanding is that there is some
X work going on in this area, but I'm not keeping
up with that.  I don't know when it might be ready.
