Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
I'm building a carpc using feisty. I want my two kids in the back to be able to watch/play independent movies/games, and my prius has a touch screen that I'm interfacing into in the front for music. Three separate video cards (built-in geforce 4, and two PCI geforce 5200s). Everything works fine when I run the servers one at a time via: % X -novtswitch -sharevts -Layout0 :0 % X -novtswitch -sharevts -Layout1 :1 % X -novtswitch -sharevts -Layout2 :2 This tells me that my xorg.conf (attached) is setup correctly. However, if I leave server :0 running, and then start server :1 the mouse and keyboard in server :0 stop working but work fine in server :1. Similarly, if I then start server :2, the mouse and keyboard stop working in server :1 but work fine in server :2 (you see the trend - the mouse and keyboard only work in the last X server started). I'm not sure if this is a bug in the X server or evdev, but I'm betting the latter. For a lengthy thread with more background on multi-seat X using multiple USB mice and keyboards, see: http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/14-Multiseat-X-Under- X11R6.97.0.html Any help would be greatly appreciated. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- evdev not working with multiple X instances https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
