I believe the indication in the config file for multiple screens and
keyboards only indicates that the kernel will support these devices.  The
problem is, all of the current software supports only a single user.

SunView,  for example,  will allow you to hook up multiple screens, but
the effect will be an enlarged Sunview desktop that spans two screens.
This is done with the adjacentscreens command.  NeWS and X support
multiple mice,  but this is to use the second mouse for some special
purpose,  such as attaching a digitizing tablet to window software. 

I don't know of any way to make any of these window systems support
multiple independant "root" windows,  perhaps someone else may have heard
of something?
