Hi there! Some time ago, I've asked you about current situation of video drivers for nested Xorg servers as an alternative to Xephyr. This is mentioned in http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.8/
Currently there's a project named xf86-video-nested, which is written somehow independently from Xephyr, but seems no longer maintained. Now I've started playing with xf86-video-nested and Xephyr code, trying to merge as much code as possible. It's still in an embrionary stage, so I want to ask you some questions: * Is there an official position from X.Org development team about deprecating Xephyr in favour of a driver based approach for nesting Xorg server? Or at least let both approaches coexist (maybe moving common code to a shared library, as I've asked you previously)? * In case I decide to proceed with Xephyr code merging into a video driver, should I do it in current project xf86-video-nested, or fork a new one (e.g. xf86-video-ephyr)? * I'm currently working on mapping Kdrive/Xephyr command line options to xorg.conf options for the driver. Which Kdrive/Xephyr options are really suitable for this mapping, and which ones are just reimplementations of command line options already present in Xorg itself? I'm pushing my progress to https://github.com/oiteam/xf86-video-ephyr, if you want to take a look. My main motivation with this project is providing a suitable way for single-card multiseat configuration on systemd-logind based systems, so I'm not so focused on implementing a "nested input driver" at the moment.
