Ok, I read that ticket. While I'm a decent enough hack at configuring stuff in the shell, I don't have all the pieces of a working set-up example gathered in one place.
If you have the config you described in the ticket working (1 integrated gfx, 1 pcie gfx and 2 hubs), I could start to reverse engineer that into some steps. For that, I'd need a copy your config files posted somewhere (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, /etc/systemd/logind.conf, anything added to udev rules, maybe dpkg --get-selections for good measure, and any other glue scripts needed to make it fly) That'd give me a starting point that I could use (based on diff-ing the configs against the maintainer's stock package versions) to try to build up to a similar working set-up for the chromebox.
