Hi, folks

Aprox half year I use kernel patch , which allow run multiple locale X
servers with
independ keyboards and mouses. Site:
http://starx.times.lv

If Your box is capable to start multiple X, You can emulate net gaming via
tcp
loopback driver.

I test various linux native games and most games run fine simultaneous.

Most smooth run:
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (sound configurable)
Quake3Arena (sound configurable)
UnrealTournament
Rune-demo

Performance is certainly not for hardcore gamers.
Triple RtCW show 15-25 fps (640x480)
Double RtCW show 35-45 fps (640x480)

My box:
CPU Athlon 1600+
RAM 256Mb
1st videocard Nvidia GeforceMX440 (AGP)
2nd Nvidia TNT2 M64 (PCI)
3rd Nvidia TNT2 M64 (PCI)
two ps/2 keyboards, one USB keyboard
two serial mouses, one USB mouse
swap 800Mb (important, same games failed if can't allocate enough memory).

Benefits:
You should not buy box for any kid.
Easy maintenance.

Troubles:
code is alpha unstable
