Description Lev Abashkin 2011-07-30 05:29:38 UTC 
Multiseat setups have to use "InputDevice" sections and set "AutoAddDevices" to false when configuring input devices. This works fine until input device is accidentally disconnected and Xserver has to be restarted to get input device back.
Having an option to bind InputClass to one specific ServerLayout instead of "AutoServerLayout" behavior would solve the problem.

Comment 2 Stolz 2014-01-23 13:49:44 UTC 
Same problem here. More than 2 years waiting for this feature. I hope it gets implemented soon.
