Dual monitor/mouse/keyboard  requires that you have multiple consoles
setup, which requires a kernel/X setup for the additional consoles.

i.e. you would have a console with virtual consoles 1-8 and a second
console with virtual consoles 9-15.

I've assisted Jordan at MavRadio.org in setting this up at the UNO Radio
Station (93.7 if your near the campus) So he could provide you with a
config example if you're interested.
