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!

Hi hugo, hugo vanwoerkom (31/01/2010): > On a two-seat Debian Sid system (2 monitors/graphic > cards/xservers/keyboards/mice) after installing the latest > xserver-xorg, when keyboard data is typed on seat-2 it appears on > the active VT on seat-1.

Thanks Aivils! Could you please tell us if you're still having issues with squeeze or sid? The input system was changed a lot, and evdev + autoconfiguration might have helped fix such issues. See our started doc about that: http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/configure-input.html Hopefully we'll be shipping a multiseat doc at some point.
