there's a few docs on it here:

http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/
http://cs.senecac.on.ca/~ctyler/ruby/

though no guarantees as I haven't read in detail.

Also, I seem to recall a company who were building 4-console machines for
schools (I think).  They had 4 mice, keyboards, monitors etc.  I seem to
remember reading in that article that they needed a kernel patch (which
might since have been upstreamed) but that might have been to get from 2
consoles to 4.
