I have a multiseat setup where 2 of the seats use wireless mice and

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, but the X session itself does not
respond. There is nothing interesting in the log files. the one
seat with wired devices is fine.
If I kill that X client and let kdm restart it, it will work fine
for a while. What information can I provide to help diagnose this?
you've disabled hotplugging, so if the device disappears at the kernel level
at any point in time, it will not come back until you've restarted the
server (VT switch should do too, btw). that is my suspicion here though that
should usually print read errors to the logs. there isn't really much you
can do about this, the old device model doesn't really lend itself for
hotplugging.
By hotplugging you mean setting Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"? If I do
that, every input device gets assigned to every seat, so that keyboard
attached to seat 1 also shows up on seats 2 and 3, and every mouse moves
every cursor.
Is there any way to limit the pool of "AutoAddDevices" so that it works
correctly with multi-seat?
you also seem to have input devices with no names? what devices are those?
(event9 and event10)
They're whatever udev decides... Not really sure where they came from.
Here's xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "akari"
Screen 0 "akari-scr" 0 0
InputDevice "akari-kbd" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "akari-mouse" "CorePointer"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "true"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"
btw, we've removed this option in the server because people kept using it,
despite it having no useful effect.
OK; not sure where it came from either and it seems to do no harm. :-)
I'll remove it.
