Hi guys!

Rejoice!! Xorg-server 1.16 was released today!! It's the first xorg-server
release after our multseat patches were merged into upstream.

It means that, from 1.16 on,

* xorg-server no longer requires systemd multi-seat-x wrapper for non-seat0
seats;
* Xorg finally can be started by non-seat0 seats with non-KMS video
drivers, without that "No devices detected" error.
* MatchSeat entry is available for xorg.conf's sections "Device", "Screen",
and "ServerLayout", so one can easily set up a non-seat0 seat with NVIDIA
proprietary driver with a xorg.conf file like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "card0"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "NoLogo" "True"
    MatchSeat "seat1"
EndSection
