That one is pretty simple. "XGGI :1" . The X server tries to open as display
:0.0 by default, which is already used by the server it is running on.
When you start the third one, you can choose which server is the "host"
by either GGI_DISPLAY="x::1/0" ./XGGI :2 or DISPLAY=":1/0" ./XGGI :2 or
if I remember correctly ./XGII -display :1/0 :2 should aslso work

The simplest way to do this IMHO is to set GPM in repeater mode with -R.
That will make it output a "pseudo-mouse" in some file (/dev/gpmdata IIRC).

I would then link /dev/mouse to that and tell LibGGI about the format
which is MouseSystems. It's a good thing to do anyway, as you will have
to change only one configuration, if you swap mice (though it looses
stuff like the wheels).

CU, Andy
