Hello everybody,

I have another question related to multiseat. I do not know if I should open a new bug report, but since it is also related to multiseat options, I report here the problem:

I am trying to setup a multiseat computer following this tutorial (http://netpatia.blogspot.com/2009/06/multiseat-in-ubuntu-904.html). The idea here is to have a base X and several Xephyr sessions running on the main X session. The main X session does not have to initiate a greeter, but just hold the Xephyr sessions. This is the way of having multiseat on computers with just a graphics card and several outputs.

The question is how to avoid launching the lightdm greeter on the main X session. Previously (with gdm) that was achieved with the parameter "handled" of every session. ¿Is this parameter still active? ¿Can I obtain a base session with just X running and two additional sessions with the LightDM greeter running over two Xephyr sessions?

Thanks a lot for your help,

 José Antonio
