I hacked on the MIT Xsun so that it can timeshare a single
screen/keyboard/mouse among multiple displays.  From the point of view
of X clients, there are many displays on the machine; it's just that
only one of them at a time is actually displayed on the screen or
accepting device input.

I do not have this in distributable form.  If anyone wants to take
their chances with the code, the relevant files can be found in the
anonymous ftp area on 132.206.1.1, in X/myX/X11R4/server/ddx/sun/.  I
can answer questions about it but do not presently have time to make
diffs and clean it up and get it ready to release.
