Hi,
I'm informing the status of multiseat.
I've read here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval
that there is worked on automatic detection of multiseat.
Some notes:
. automatic is only possible for local seats
Well, systemd's multi-seat support is exclusively for local seats. In
fact, the word seat for us implies local.
. maximum local seats is the minimum of terminals and keyboards (=N)
Well, the automatic mode means that a seat needs at least one display to
be around. A keyboard/mouse is optional.
. part of N is X seat, where a mouse (or any other pointing device)
is available and maybe required is a framebuffer with some
capabilities.
Only the framebuffer needs to be available for a seat, everything else
is optional.
. manual configuration overrides automatic detection. I've got two
terminals in dual monitor (onescreen over two terminals) setup.
We can spawn seats only on invidividual framebuffers. framebuffers
cannot be shared between seats.
. remote seat detection is never automatic, but happens on the fly
when someone logs in.
remote logins are in fact completely orthogonal to systemd-logind, and
handled as virtual seat-less sessions, as is SSH and so on.
