I just upgraded to the latest ubuntu, which comes with a recent xorg:
X.Org X Server 1.10.4
Release Date: 2011-08-19
I am somewhat confused (actually really confused) on the status of
xorg.conf.
I read that xorg.conf is deprecated and that I should use xorg.conf.d
- but at the same time X -configure creates an xorg.conf...
Can I just go ahead and use xorg.conf to set up my 3 heads? I need to
create it manually as this will be a multi-seat machine. I plan to
create 3 different layouts and start X for each seat that way.
Thanks,

Hi Yan,
I too was waiting for GDM to get it's butt into gear, but as far as I've
been made to understand, it is "broken" for multi-seat (until 3.4
release? please someone correct me).
I am watching Fedora 17 which will be released early May, because it
drops consolekit and enables automatic multiseat support.

Me? I can't wait because most of my production machines have been stuck
on an old ubuntu, thanks to multiseat being broken.
HTH,
Zoltan
