Hi, In principle it's possible to do this using a nested-X-server approach. It will require you to 1. Provide a Upstart/systemd service, that starts before LightDM/GDM, which launches a bare Xorg server spanning all avaliable outputs. 2. Install package xserver-xorg-video-nested (available in Ubuntu Multiseat PPA) and provide a suitable xorg.conf.
I'll try to write a tutorial in Ubuntu Multiseat wiki ASAP.
