I'm writing this reminder for anyone interested about some multiseat
patches sent in the last months. They are currently waiting for review.

These patches are necessary to make X.Org work properly with systemd-logind
implementation of multiseat in the following situations:

* Configure properly a multiseat system with multiple video cards with no
DRM/KMS drivers (e.g.: NVIDIA or AMD cards with proprietary drivers)

* Get rid of systemd-multi-seat-x wrapper

* Avoid any race condition between seat0 and non-seat0 X servers that may
lead to inactive user sessions for seat0

The patches are available in the following links:

- Fix "No devices detected" error for NVIDIA cards with proprieatry drivers
for non-seat0 X servers
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2013-October/038476.html

- Introduce new key MatchSeat in sections "Device", "Screen" and
"ServerLayout" of xorg.conf (this patch includes the one above)
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2013-September/037946.html

- Keep non-seat0 X servers from touching VTs
