Hi Laércio,
SHAME ON ME!!!!
When I started looking for files to paste here, I had a closer look at
my xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
MatchSeat "seat0"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout1"
Screen 0 "Screen1" 0 0
MatchSeat "seat1"
EndSection
Section "Files"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
# HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Samsung SMEX2220"
HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
# HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
Identifier "Monitor1"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Philips 170B4"
HorizSync 30.0 - 82.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 8400 GS"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
MatchSeat "seat0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "Quadro NVS 290"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
MatchSeat "seat1"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "Stereo" "0"
Option "SLI" "Off"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
MatchSeat "seat0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Device1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "Stereo" "0"
Option "SLI" "Off"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
MatchSeat "seat1"
EndSection
The problem is in naming. I dutifully named seat 0 "seat0", but I also
dutifully followed the convention of naming
seat 1 "seat-1", with a dash between the "t" and the "1" - _EXCEPT_ in my
xorg.conf...
When I did s/seat1/seat-1/g in my xorg.conf, the two seats appear correctly.
I did not stress test it too much, but will do now. If I have a problem I will
let you know immediately.
I've been using multiseat setups for over a decade now and it has always
been at least a bit "hakish"; each and every dist-upgrade (I've been
using Debian testing, where dist-upgrades happen frequently) has been a
threat that thigs would stop working. What is proposed here looks like a
proper solution to multiseat setups. Thanks for your work!
