[PATCH v2 0/3] Reworked patches to make non-seat0 X servers work with non-KMS video drivers

Since version 198, systemd-logind no longer requires a framebuffer device
to create a new seat (it's sufficient to assing at least one suitable device
tagged as "master-of-seat" in udev to a new seat in order to create it).
It opens the possibility to configure multiseat properly using multiple
graphics cards with non-KMS drivers (like NVIDIA proprietary ones).
However, some fixes in Xorg server are still needed to make it start properly
with a non-KMS video driver if an option "-seat seatXXXX",
where "seatXXXX" is not "seat0", is passed.
Patch 1 is mandatory, since it fixes a bug where a non-seat0 X server ends with a
"No devices detected" error, if it tries to start with a non-KMS video driver.
Patches 2-3 are highly recommended to make this solution DM-independent. Without them,
one needs to pass a custom config file via "-config", which may be unsedirable
or even impossible (e.g. if using GDM), if these settings should be targeted to
a particular seat only.
