Bug#354490: RFP: multiseat -- installer for multi-head systems
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : multiseat
Version : 0.9.10
Upstream Author : Fabio Massimo Di Nitto and Daniel Stone
* URL : ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/multiseat/
* License : GNU GPL
Description : administration and configuration tools for multiseat systems
This package contains scripts and configuration files to configure a
multiseat system, including a hotplug daemon script to handle
user-specific device hotplug events automatically.
Ubuntu already include this package, which is an implementation of the
four in one computer system first pioneered by HP. The idea is to
stick four video cards, keyboards and mouses on one machine, and
configure X to provide 4 login environment on the machine, this
cutting the cost per seat dramaticaly.
A PDf explaining the system from HP is available from
<URL: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2004/einclusion/ds_441_desktops.pdf >.
I believe we should include this system in Debian, and thus request
this package.
