Having exhausted other possibilities, I'm testing multiseat with Ubuntu 14.04's lightdm using one DisplayLink adapter (two later).
With GDM from the Ubuntu multiseat repo, we see 'sharevts' added to the second X server: /usr/bin/X :0 -background none -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-eqajeQ/database -seat seat0 -nolisten tcp vt7 /usr/bin/X :1 -background none -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-v2WUO6/database -seat seat1 -nolisten tcp -config /run/systemd/multi-session-x/seat1 -sharevts With lightdm from the trusty repos, we see 'novtswitch' added to the first X server: /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch /usr/bin/X -core :1 -seat seat1 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:1 -nolisten tcp This seems inconsistent in multiple ways; the correct approach is for non-primary X servers to have both 'sharevts' and 'novtswitch', yes?
