I have an external monitor and an external keyboard/mouse plugged into
my Powerbook. Is there some way I can pair those devices up and use
them as two seperate consoles? The idea is to be able to operate
some applications on one screen (with one keyboard/mouse assigned
to that screen), and some other applications on the other screen
(with its own keyboard mouse). If this had to be two seperate
login sessions, that would be okay, although I want to use the
same user-id on both.

The only thing that comes to mind is to run VLC or Remote desktop in
windowed mode on the external monitor and then VLC-connect to your own
computer. That's a strange thing to do, but then, this is a strange
request. Why do you want to do this?

I am sitting in front of two monitors (one built-in, one external)
and I have the two keyboards in front of me. I want to perform
some tasks on one console, and some tasks on the other console.
I want to be the same user-id on both.

I don't think that's strange!
