[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1828671] Re: Xephyr Input is broken
>From memory, there were bugs reported, but it seems it's: - almost abandoned - breaking change is by design; I don't think Xorg wants to support this kind of configuration. Again, from memory, it's been changed so that it can only work with xevents from the "master" XServer. Sad, but I think this avenue (multiseat in general) is pretty much abandonware.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1828671] Re: Xephyr Input is broken
Absolutely. I believe it's an issue in upstream; I did spend a little time trying to investigate/recompile/figure out which set of changes removed/broke this functionality, but ran out of time. At present to make multi-seat work I have to manually install and pin the old version of Xephyr.
