The Multi-Pointer X server
worufu writes "Some weeks after releasing the MPX (Multi-Pointer X Server), the Linux world slowly seems to draw attention to the project which opens up the limits of simultaneous input devices of the current X server. The future possibities are unlimited and I cannot wait to see some nice applications supporting the advantages of multiple input devices.
From the project description: 'The Multi-Pointer X Server is an enhanced X server to support multiple mice. It provides users with one cursor per device. Each cursor can operate independently. A multicursor windowing system allows two-handed interaction with legacy applications, but also the creation of innovative applications and user interfaces.'"

FINALLY! I can play multi-player xPong at work and never again have to argue who gets the mouse!
Using two mice reminds me of Anakin Skywalker, with his two lightsabers. And I don't need to remind ANYONE here what happened to HIM.
