Two Screens, Two Window Managers?

[playerx]

I have recently been trying out different twinview combinations, but in the end i decided the best thing would be to run two X servers, one on each.
Thing is, I use KDE and on the second screen I got a default KDE environment. What I wanted was to run e16 on the other screen, i've been searching but couldn't find anything relevant, so i decided to ask for help.

Thanks in advance.

Why would you want to do that? Having a separate X for another monitor would complicate things too much. If you configured both X sessions to use the same mouse, the same mouse motions would be mimiked in both screens, I would imagine. Why not expand your current desktop to the other monitor? That would be so much easier....

Interesting how this thing comes up so often in the last few days.
I posted a while ago about the same thing.
Maybe you can help me.
You say that you have two xservers running simultaneously ?
How do you make them owork at the same time ?
Everytime I use two xservers I end up having one of them blanked out as long as i
wok on the other one.

@your problem :
How do start the servers ?
xinit or startx should not work for that.
Wouldn't you need to run : X - config "configfile-one" :0.0 &" Windowmanager1" -display :0.0
and
X - config "configfile-two" :1.0 &" Windowmanager2" -display :1.0
?

I understand that....but who would want to have to mouses (yes, mouses is proper tech grammar, I checked) and two keyboards? That would be annoying. I have 2 comps on the same desk, and it is hard to keep from using the wrong keyboard.
