Yes Macs can use multiple input devices, I have had several mice and keyboards connected to the same machine (by accident) and both sets worked...

Actually, I meant 'independant input devices' since there is (IMO) little point having multiple input devices if they all mirror each other.

I guess that the X server doesn't talk to the input devices directly, but get it's input from some other layer, and so that other layer can multiplex the devices. This is 'unusual', but, apparently, useful in some small number of cases.

Anyway...

My understanding is that input devices cannot be shared between X
servers without some external help; hence the need for utilities such
as x2x. Am I missing something? This is what I know from my several
years of working with X on SGI workstations.

Also, can Mac's use multiple keyboards/mice? Just curious....
