Hi guys!

As I reported some months ago, my first patch was included in Xorg-
server upstream master git branch:

xserver: enable InputClass option "GrabDevice" by default for non-seat0 seats (#69478)
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=c73c36b537f996574628e69681833ea37dec2b6e


Now I'm pleased to annouce that my second patch was also upstreamed:

xfree86: Keep a non-seat0 X server from touching VTs (#71258)
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=46cf2a60934076bf568062eb83121ce90b6ff596


With these 2 patches, xorg-server no longer needs systemd-multi-seat-x wrapper. Moreover, there's no need to neither pass -sharevts option nor enabling option "DontVTSwitch" to non-seat0 X servers anymore.

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.
