I believe what he meant was that only one graphics app can open a _specific_
VT at a time, not that only one graphics app can have a VT open. The
current KGI kernel allows you to have multiple graphics apps on multiple
consoles. I'm almost sure that EvStack allows it as of now--if not, then
very soon, because it's still undergoing rapid changes. At any rate,
EvStack will support graphical consoles, and these can be considered
graphics apps, and there's definitely more than one. So you'll be able to
run lots of applications, on up to 16 monitors simultaneously if you happen
to have 4 PCI buses connected to your system ;)
