From what i understand, kdm still supports multiseat. Anyway, in my special case, I have 3 fixed users on 3 fixed heads, so I can start X on boot on each head and I don't have to worry about logins. I am trying to figure out how to configure xorg to tie the right input device to the right head..... And if xorg.conf is the correct place to do so. -- On two occasions I have been asked,—"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. —Charles Babbage, Inventor of the computer, 1864 _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
