Is there anyone here being able to use evdev to control two independent
sets of keyboard+mouse (for a multi-seat setup)?

I have a 2 seat setup that has been working for a year now. Since I have
two video-cards I basicully run two X sessions. I used evdev to control
the input devices. Now, I could manage to get evdev controlling the
devices by copying the 10-x11-input.fdi to the right location. Now, with
the attached xorg.conf file I can manage to get the two X sessions up,
but both keyboards and mouse are attached to just one of them (even
though the xorg.conf file make it explicitly that this should not be the
case). Note that if I run only one session a time then only the correct
set of keyboard and mouse can control the correct xsession.

Looking at the  /var/log/Xorg.?.log I can see messages like this:

(II) Mouse.0: Unable to grab pEvdev (Device or resource busy).  Cowardly
refusing to check use as keyboard.

So it looks like the first evdev driver is not being able to read to
each device independently. Wasn't it supposed to be able to do just
that? Note that I am using the Device option described by Michael to
make sure that evdev can see each device.

Is there a work around?
