Question 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.

NAME
XkbGetGeometry - Loads a keyboard geometry if you already have the keyboard description SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetGeometry (Display *dpy, XkbDescPtr xkb); ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to the X server - xkb keyboard description that contains the ID for the keyboard and into which the geometry should be loaded DESCRIPTION

In this case, the geometry returned is the one associated with the keyboard whose device ID is contained in the keyboard description. XkbGetGeometry can return BadValue, BadImplementation, BadName, BadAlloc, or BadLength errors or Success if it succeeds. DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage BadImplementation Invalid reply from server BadLength The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments BadName A font or color of the specified name does not exist BadValue An argument is out of range SEE ALSO
