Hi,

I have two monitors, two USB keyboards, two USB mouses. What I want to
do is, use one monitor, one USB keyboard, one USB mouse to regular
work in Linux(with X server). And I want to install a vmware, runs
another Linux in that vmware, this vmware window should be appeard in
another monitor, use the input from another keyboard, another mice.

Do you have four hands?

Why not share the keyboard and mouse?

I want two personal use same PC which can save money of course.

Is it possible without interference with two machine?

What I can think out is use two X servers, to run vmware in another X
server. But is the X server support choosing input from a USB port?

Can it be done with only one X server? I think the hard part is how to
make the input device dedicated for only one machine.

Look for "multi-seat" systems. They do exactly that.

Maybe you should look at something like Sun Rays.
