Bug#567854: xserver-xorg: kbd actions on seat2 show up on console of seat1



Hi hugo,

hugo vanwoerkom <huugske@gmail.com> (31/01/2010):
> On a two-seat Debian Sid system (2 monitors/graphic
> cards/xservers/keyboards/mice) after installing the latest
> xserver-xorg, when keyboard data is typed on seat-2 it appears on
> the active VT on seat-1.  Including passwords, etc. It makes the
> console on seat-1 near unusable.

disclaimer: I know nothing about multiseat yet.

> Aivils Stoss has a work-around for this problem: install faketty and
> use its VT's on seat 2:

> Except the version attached of faketty has to be used.

>    1. compile and install faketty

>    3. modify xorg.conf for seat2 to use driver=kbd
>    4. modify gdm.conf for seat 2 to say: command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0
>    -dpi 110 -isolateDevice PCI:0:8:0 vt51

> Note the 'vt51' in step 4.

> Result: problem goes away. Thanks Aivils!

Could you please tell us if you're still having issues with squeeze or
sid? The input system was changed a lot, and evdev + autoconfiguration
might have helped fix such issues. See our started doc about that:
  http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/configure-input.html

Hopefully we'll be shipping a multiseat doc at some point.

KiBi.
