adding a second display, keyboard
Customer is wanting to add a second display and keyboard to a unix system.
Sernario:
Medical office has unix system with five dumb terminals, and a VGA/SVGA monitor, PS/2 keyboard. They want to remove one of the dumb terminals and replace with a second VGA/SVGA monitor and keyboard. Can this be done? Will they be able to input from both keyboards at the same time? What kind of hardware would be involved in this process. Is this the right area to ask this question? Thank you for your help.

vga_getmonitortype
vga_getmonitortype(3) Svgalib User Manual vga_getmonitortype(3)
NAME
vga_getmonitortype - returns the monitor type configured
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
int vga_getmonitortype(void);
DESCRIPTION
This returns the monitor type configered in /etc/vga/libvga.config. This function is really obsolete, as the result is of not much use to
the application vga_getmodeinfo(3) and vga_hasmode(3) do already check the monitor type and there are more flexible ways to specify it too.
The return value is one of:
MON640_60
31.5 KHz (standard VGA): does 640x480 in 60Hz vsync.
MON800_56
35.1 KHz (old SVGA): does 800x600 in 56Hz vsync.
MON1024_43I
35.5 KHz (low-end SVGA, 8514): does 1024x768 in 43Hz vsync interlaced.
MON800_60
37.9 KHz (SVGA): does 800x600 in 60Hz vsync.
MON1024_60
48.3 KHz (SVGA non-interlaced): does 1024x768 in 60Hz vsync, non-interlaced.
MON1024_70
56.0 KHz (SVGA high frequency): does 1024x768 in 70Hz vsync.
MON1024_72
does 1024x768 in 72Hz vsync or even better.

It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.
