<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi there!<br><br></div>Some time ago, I've written about my plans to port latest Xephyr graphical improvements to xf86-video-nested, mainly for single-GPU multiseat purposes. Now I realised that maintaining a driver is beyond my capabilities, and I'd like to try another approach: implement the missing parts in Xephyr for full multiseat compliance.<br><br></div>One important piece was released in version 1.17, closing historical (and controversal) bug #12221:<br><a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221</a><br><br>The other important piece is providing input hotplugging support for Xephyr. There are 2 bugs still open that covers this subject:<br><br><span id="summary_alias_container">
<span id="short_desc_nonedit_display">Xephyr doesn't update evdev keyboard LEDs<br><a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302</a><br><br></span></span><span id="summary_alias_container"><span id="short_desc_nonedit_display">evdev USB input devices which get briefly disconnected become unusable in kdrive/Xephyr</span></span><br><a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33140">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33140</a><br><br></div>Moreover, Xephyr should gain -seat option support to automatically grab input devices by seat. I already have an algorithm in <a href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-multiseat/multi-seat-xephyr/trunk/view/139/multi-seat-xephyr.c">http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-multiseat/multi-seat-xephyr/trunk/view/139/multi-seat-xephyr.c</a> that builds -keybd and -mouse command line options for Xephyr automatically for devices assigned to a given seat, and I could port it to kdrive directly.<br clear="all"><div><div><div><div><br></div><div>The two open bugs cited above are quite old, so if someone have something new to say about them, I would be of great help for me.<br><br></div><div>Thanks in advance!<br></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><b>Laércio de Sousa</b><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><div style="text-align:left"><i>Orientador de Informática</i></div><div style="text-align:left"><u>Escola Municipal "Professor Eulálio Gruppi"</u></div><div style="text-align:left"><i>Rua Ismael da Silva Mello, 559, Mogi Moderno</i></div><i><div style="text-align:left"><i>Mogi das Cruzes - SP</i></div><div style="text-align:left"><i>CEP 08717-390</i></div></i></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">Telefone: (11) 4726-8313</span></div></div></div>
