[Bug 1540997] Re: Input hot-plugging patches for Xephyr

 

** Description changed:

  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.
  
+ Patch [2] also needs to be backported, in order to get kdrive evdev
+ driver built automatically as expected.
