Okay, the above solution didn't work well with my multiseat setup. After enabling the second X server in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, the mouse pointer and the keyboard were frozen again in :0. Finally, I found out that just removing the .fdi file and removing all InputDevice entries in xorg.conf works just fine. Before that, both X servers were trying to access the same devices.
Of course, my current solution only works for people who don't need input devices on their second X server. In my case, that's fine because it's just my TV on an additional VGA card. Is it possible to prevent X from grabbing input devices which are already in use? Is it possible to assign input devices to X servers *and* have input hotplugging? Right now, it seems a bit limited and the lack of documentation (man evdev is outdated, for example) is not exactly helping. -- evdev mouse fails on hardy: cannot open input pEvdev https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
