kdmrc doesn't cares about xephyr.
it depends on the xorg.conf.
I don't use xephyr but I imagine that it creates a virtual card which in turn
is used the same way one configures multiseat with more then one cards.
external gpu might be ugly, but you'll gain better performance.

Thanx
I am aware of the necessity of hub for in and mouse.
The only thing I have to overcome is setting a conf besides kdmrc or xephyre
to use a single graphic card with two output port for monitors which almost
always laptops are equipped with this kind of cards.
So I need settings for such cards. As I know the chest and xephyre are the most
common xservers which work on top of another xserver. As they are capable of
using a graphic card as many as output port of a card, the solution rest on
using one of those programme.
Once I read a threat on a famous developer site from a brithis guy on the
subject. But he refused to give me the settings he had.
As it is a painful job I did not dear to start it.
It is why I am asking for help.
An external graphic card is a solution but is a little ugly. Having a hardware
beside a laptop does not sound nice.

in general, for each seat you need at least 2 usb/ps2 ports and 1 display port.
for 3 seats you need 3 display ports and 6 usb inputs, in all of the laptops
I've seen, there was a max of 2 display ports and 4 usb ports or 2 usb and 2
ps2 ports.
the only way you can have a 3 seats multi seat conf on a laptop is either
using the actual comp as a seat or getting hubs for the usb and external gpu.
imho either two options might impact the performance as multi seat tends to be
heavy and laptops usually aren't that powerful.
as I'm not using fedora, I cannot comment on the possibility of doing that on
fedora but I'm sure you can find useful info in fedora's docs.
btw, the old man is god, but we leave it be.

Thanks to you and the old man (as Einstein called man's created God)
I have read setting up multiseat using one single graphic card is possible
through xephyre. Assuming laptops have two or three monitor out puts, is it
yet possible to have multiseat on laptop.
I am not prophi. But I could make a multiseat on fedora14 with an internal and
external graphic card setting kdmrc and sort.conf.

assuming you have only one gpu, yes.
you can try and see if getting an external gpu is worthwhile.
