Description Stefan Brüns 2013-06-17 09:32:55 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0

Multiseat comes in two variants, static and dynamic.

Static multiseat uses a bunch of fixed GPUs and associated Input/Output devices. Dynamic uses e.g. a DisplayLink USB GPU and Input/Output

An administration module should allow to configure the following aspects:

1. Enable/Disable MultiSeat
  - If disabled, additional GPUs are added to the first/default seat, i.e. as XRandr 1.4 output/render providers
  - If enabled, additional GPUs let the displaymanager spawn a new Greeter

2. Setup device association
  - Select GPUs, USB hubs (either by serial number or using bus topology)
  - Write out appropriate udev rules

3. Show current setup
  - mimic output of "loginctl seat-status <seat-name>"

Reproducible: Always




Support in the Displaymanager is needed.

Support for GDM is upstream
A patched KDM is available at:
