HOWTO: multi-seat Debian Sid using the stock kernels.



Hi,

When you use multiple videocards/monitors/keyboards/mice and Debian stock kernels, the starting of gpm/gdm will fail because of the absence of mice.

Have no idea why so with the Debian stock kernels and not with my own generated kernel.

But this is the fix:

Put this script into /etc/init.d/

#!/bin/bash

#set -x

rmmod usbhid
rmmod evdev

modprobe evdev
modprobe usbhid

exit 0

Then run:

update-rc.d do_k7 start 09 2 3 4 5 .

This will remove + install evdev and usbhid and everything runs as normal then.

Next question: how many Debian users run multi-seat Sid?
Answer: 1    8-)
