Attachments:	patch to multiseat-x.c to add a -layout <seat> command option

Description ulf.dambacher 2013-11-09 15:42:47 UTC

Created attachment 88933 [details] [review]
patch to multiseat-x.c to add a -layout <seat> command option

the xorg -seat option currently can only select the input device of the seat but does not select a correct graphics card and monitor automatically
the wrapper systemd-multiseat-x does some option tweaking only

creating a device section, screen section and layout on the fly is too heavy for a workaround.

I enclose a patch to systemd-multiseat-x wich creates a -layout option for each seat <> 0 wich can be used together with per seat defined server layouts to spawn seats on additional cards and configure them properly.

Reason:

See mailing list thread:

 [systemd-devel] systemd-multi-seat-x deprecation is near...


Short story: systemd-multiseat-x will disappear in future incarnations of systemd as the X server has been recently fixed making this wrapper unnecessary.
