[Bug 1190581] Re: Support logind's automatic multiseat feature

 

Hi guys!

I'm pleased to annouce that my second xorg-server patch is now
upstreamed:

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


With this patch, non-seat0 X servers no longer require VT allocation. So, when this patch arrives to ubuntu xorg-server packages, there will be no need to allocate VTs for non-seat0 X servers in LightDM.

Title:
  Support logind's automatic multiseat feature

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Triaged
Status in “lightdm” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Now that initial logind support
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/930488 was released for
  LightDM, I'm opening this bug to request a step further: provide
  support to logind's automatic multiseat feature.

  I have absolutely no experience with D-Bus interfaces, but it seems
  that LightDM has its own D-Bus interface for seat management, so I
  don't know what would be better: replace it with logind D-Bus
  interface (if logind is present) or chaining both (e.g.: a logind's
  SeatNew D-Bus signal should trigger LightDM's SeatAdded D-Bus signal).
  Does it make sense?
