This document intend to describe how I managed to have a PC with:
  two different monitors plugged to ...
  two different graphic-cards matching ...
  two different keyboards and mice
       ... in order to run ...
  two instances of XFree86, each one having it's own login screen, and
  thus having :
  two different users working on the same one and only one PC box at a time.
