Bug#567854: xserver-xorg: kbd actions on seat2 show up on console of seat1
Hi KiBi, Thanks for answering! Although my heart is still with multiseat, my hardware changed and I can't run it anymore: I lost one of the 2 displays. Also I changed motherboard from an Epox 8VTAI to an Asus M4N98TD EVO, much better! But it means more power too, so I have to change the PS and the UPS, I have the former but not the latter: not enough $! However, the biggest threat to multiseat is gdm: with gdm3 you can't start multiple servers anymore: http://preview.tinyurl.com/multiseat-dead and to keep gdm I already have to 'apt-get -t squeeze install gdm' because sid no longer has it... However, this has nothing to do with 567854... Except to say that I cannot test multiseat with the latest Sid :-( As soon as I can get funds for a new kbd, new display and new UPS, I will sure give it another try. Thanks!

Bug#567700: xserver-xorg: System freezes after X starts
I cannot reproduce this error when I upgraded to the following: # xorg 1:7.5+5 # xserver-xorg 1:7.5+5 # xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.6-1 # xserver-common 2:1.7.6-1 # xserver-xorg-input-all 1:7.5+5 # xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.3.2-4 # xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.4.0-1 # NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.15-pkg1.run I thought I tried the latest nvidia driver instead of the legacy one.

Bug#567700: xserver-xorg: System freezes after X starts
Today I tried X on a brandnew installation, with only enough installed to bring up X, gdm, window-manager and iceweasel. The same thing happens, after 7 mins.: *the system freezes*. 2 users were logged on, one in iceweasel, the other just logged on and switched to VT1 VT1 gets spots on the screen and the system is frozen because all clocks and timer ticks have stopped. I used the Debian netinstall CD from March 1st of this year to install the basic system. Then I upgraded to current Sid. Then I installed the following software: x-window-system-core,xterm,menu,patch,gcc,g++,make,gv,gpm,file,bzip2,linux-image-2.6-686, linux-headers-2.6-686,grub-legacy,libsensors-dev,lm-sensors, fvwm,gdm,sudo,libaudio2,libaudio-dev,nas,qt3-dev-tools,libqt3-mt-dev,ddclient, mkisofs,cdrecord,eject,gawk,chrony,gcal,wmcpuload,wmmoonclock,wmppp.app,expect, xsane,buffer,mindi,lzop,dvd+rw-tools,mondo,smartmontools,xbindkeys, xmacro,firehol,ulogd,attr,acl,mtools,lsof,htop,apcupsd,rsync,gdm-themes,libqt4-qt3support, libqt4-dev,console-setup,xserver-xorg-input-kbd Hugo Vanwoerkom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#525736: console-setup: kbd actions on seat2 show up on console of seat1
Aivils Stoss has a work-around for this problem: install faketty and use its VT's on seat 2: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Multiseat_Configuration/faketty Except the version attached of faketty has to be used. 1. compile and install faketty 2. install xserver-xorg-input-kbd 3. modify xorg.conf for seat2 to use driver=kbd 4. modify gdm.conf for seat 2 to say: command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -isolateDevice PCI:0:8:0 vt51 Note the 'vt51' in step 4. Result: problem goes away. Thanks Aivils! faketty-2.6.29.tar.bz2 Description: BZip2 compressed data

Bug#500800: xorg: -isolatedevice fails: multiseat impossible
Package: xorg Version: 1:7.3+10 Severity: important the -isolatedevice option now always fails with: Fatal server error: Bus types other than PCI not yet isolable No matter what BusID you specify. This means that multiseat (1 screen/mouse/keybrd/videocard/xserver) now is impossible. This happened a while back for the first time. In February 2008 my 2nd PCI videocard failed so that was the end of my 2-seater. I got the error message for the first time after a Sid dist-upgrade with just the APG card on August 4th 2008. But at that time it did not matter. Just now, however, I finally got additionally a GeForce 6200 PCI card and it turns out -isolatedevice *always* gives an error. It does not fail with xorg 1:7.2-5 with which I am running now. But that means that only Etch still gives a functional multiseat. The hardware looks like this: 00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x] (rev c1) and the pieces in xorg.conf: Identifier nvidia0 BusID PCI:1:0:0 ...

[server-2nd] name=2nd server command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice \PCI:0:8:0\ -sharevts The latter 2 commands cause the error.

Julien, you're a Godsent. That's it: no quotes.
I'll close the bug.

The latter 2 commands cause the error.
What if you remove the quotes around the PCI ids?
The relevant code is:
if (!strcmp(argv[i], -isolateDevice))
{
int bus, device, func;
CHECK_FOR_REQUIRED_ARGUMENT();
if (strncmp(argv[++i], PCI:, 4)) {
FatalError(Bus types other than PCI not yet isolable\n);
}
if (sscanf(argv[i], PCI:%d:%d:%d, bus, device, func) == 3) {
xf86IsolateDevice.bus = bus;
xf86IsolateDevice.device = device;
xf86IsolateDevice.func = func;
return 2;
} else {
FatalError(Invalid isolated device specification\n);
}
}
Cheers,
Julien
