[Bug 1228095] Re: Enable default options for non-seat0 seats (no need of systemd-multi-seat-x wrapper)

 

Richard,

Please don't forget to include build option --enable-kdrive-evdev in
deban/rules! This is necessary for Xephyr-based multiseat setups (e.g. 2
seats using a single dual-head graphics card). In my work, I have some
setups of this kind.

One more thing: lately my tries to build xorg-server in Launchpad have
failed. The build process hangs in a unit test (xfvb-run). As a
workaround, I have to set

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS += nocheck

in debian/rules

I hope you don't need to do this.

Title:
  Enable default options for non-seat0 seats (no need of systemd-multi-
  seat-x wrapper)

Status in X.Org X server:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This patch contributes to fill the remaining gaps in X.Org which still
  make systemd-multi-seat-x wrapper needed for some multiseat setups.

  When "-seat" option is passed to Xorg with an argument other than
  "seat0", the following options are enabled by default:

  * Disable VT switching --- no need of setting Option "DontVTSwitch" in
  xorg.conf's "ServerFlags" section.

  * Enable VT sharing --- no need of passing option -sharevts to Xorg
  command line.

  * Enable option "GrabDevice" for input drivers (e.g. evdev) --- no
  need of setting this option in xorg.conf's "InputClass" section.
