Hi, Nothing's changed on this front. multiseat hasn't seen any serious attention since about March 2005, and I don't expect it will unless some seriously interested party picks up the pieces and: * better integrates it with the current xorg and gdm configurations, * investigates wider support (e.g. on ATI, Intel). I'm no longer working on Ubuntu or Debian stuff at all, so I haven't been looking at it. Sorry. Cheers, Daniel signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Daniel, I noticed your comments in #354490 about multiseat maybe not quite being ready for primetime (back in May). Has the situation changed at all? What are the things you think needs to happen before this could be packaged/integrated with Debian to support multiseat easily? It would be nice to be able to support this in etch.

Bug#354490: RFP: multiseat -- installer for multi-head systems
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: multiseat Version : 0.9.10 Upstream Author : Fabio Massimo Di Nitto and Daniel Stone * URL : ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/multiseat/ * License : GNU GPL Description : administration and configuration tools for multiseat systems This package contains scripts and configuration files to configure a multiseat system, including a hotplug daemon script to handle user-specific device hotplug events automatically. Ubuntu already include this package, which is an implementation of the four in one computer system first pioneered by HP. The idea is to stick four video cards, keyboards and mouses on one machine, and configure X to provide 4 login environment on the machine, this cutting the cost per seat dramaticaly. A PDf explaining the system from HP is available from http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2004/einclusion/ds_441_desktops.pdf >. I believe we should include this system in Debian, and thus request this package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
