2016-02-03 09:22:24 Laércio de Sousa description Please consider including this patch series [1] for in Xenial's xorg-server package. It's a crucial one to get single-GPU multi-seat working in Ubuntu the easiest way (it works with all flavours that use LightDM as the default display manager), and would be a quite valuable feature for a LTS release, without need to maintain a forked package in Ubuntu Multiset PPA. I work with a large set of single-GPU multi-seat computers for education, and I'm trying to get these patches upstreamed in time for Xenial release, but I have no idea when Adam Jackson will get to review it.

It would be a quite valuable feature for a LTS release, without need to maintain a forked package in Ubuntu Multiset PPA. Plase consider backporting them to Xenial.

Without those patches, Xephyr is unable to grab that seat's input devices properly. [Regression Potential] Very low. It only affects Xephyr when executed with -seat command-line option. For ordinary Xephyr use case (without -seat option), nothing changes.
