Unfortunately, I can't reproduce your error in my hardware. Both seats wake up correctly here.
My hardware consists of an integrated Intel graphics device and a Silicon Motion SM501 PCI graphics card. I'm also using Xubuntu with lightdm 1.10.3 from trust-updates repo. BTW, did you upgrade your lightdm to 1.10.3? Dou you know this version has backported automatic multiseat feature introduced in 1.12 series? Although this is the default behaviour in 1.12 series, it must be enabled manually in 1.10.3. Just drop all your previous manual seat configurations ([Seat:0], [Seat:1], etc.) in lightdm.conf and put the following: [LightDM] logind-load-seats=true If you want to seat e.g. autologin user for each seat, just append the following sections: [Seat:seat0] autologin-user=<USER FOR seat0> [Seat:seat-1] autologin-user=<USER FOR seat-1> Now you can test again that setting above for disabling DPMS for your seat-1 X server: [Seat:seat-1] xserver-command=/usr/bin/X -core -dpms -s 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1209008 Title: [SRU] X doesn't work for video cards with non-KMS drivers on non-seat0 seats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1209008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
