Hi there! Some time ago, I've written about my plans to port latest Xephyr graphical improvements to xf86-video-nested, mainly for single-GPU multiseat purposes. Now I realised that maintaining a driver is beyond my capabilities, and I'd like to try another approach: implement the missing parts in Xephyr for full multiseat compliance.
One important piece was released in version 1.17, closing historical (and controversal) bug #12221: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221 The other important piece is providing input hotplugging support for Xephyr. There are 2 bugs still open that covers this subject: Xephyr doesn't update evdev keyboard LEDs https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302 evdev USB input devices which get briefly disconnected become unusable in kdrive/Xephyr https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33140 Moreover, Xephyr should gain -seat option support to automatically grab input devices by seat. I already have an algorithm in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-multiseat/multi-seat-xephyr/trunk/view/139/multi-seat-xephyr.c that builds -keybd and -mouse command line options for Xephyr automatically for devices assigned to a given seat, and I could port it to kdrive directly. The two open bugs cited above are quite old, so if someone have something new to say about them, I would be of great help for me.
