Hardware?
It doesn't take much. I have them with me. I got them working with
gentoo. All it takes is an additional PCI VGA card.
It was unstable but fairly usable. Does that sound contradictory? :)
I did not use xephyr or xnest. I straight away used the evdev drivers.
I don't have the bandwidth to do the same thing with FreeBSD.
Moreover I have moved on to other things.
