Idle detect on multiple X servers

2012-01-12 Thread Yan Seiner
I have a kiosk that runs several applications on different VTs. At boot I start multiple X instances, each on its own vt. The users can switch between apllications by the CTRL-ALT-Fn combination. This works fine. Now I've been asked to rotate through the displays when the system has been idle f

X loses wireless input devices

I have a multiseat setup where 2 of the seats use wireless mice and keyboards. After some random time measured in hours/days, those two seats "lose" the input devices. They become non-responsive. The LEDs on the hardware light up so I know the mice and keyboards are awake and sending signals
