Thank you guys for helping me out with this. I've got it figured out.
Here's a mini-mini howto for posterity (and also for newbies like me who
might be struggling with this)
Set up a set of rules in /etc/udev/rules.d like this, where you identify
the USB hub that will have the peripherals plugged into:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05e3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0607",
TAG+="seat", ENV{ID_SEAT}="akari", SYMLINK+="input/seat/akari/hub"
ENV{ID_SEAT}=="", IMPORT{parent}="ID_SEAT"
ENV{ID_SEAT}!="", TAG+="$env{ID_SEAT}"
The symlink is not strictly necessary; it is just a placeholder to let
you know that the rules triggered.
Plug in the keyboard and check to see if ID_SEAT and TAGS are set:
udevadm info --query=all -p $(udevadm info -q path -n
/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.1-usb-0:1.2:1.0-event-kbd)
....
E: ID_SEAT=akari
...
E: TAGS=:akari:
(Re)start X with the -seat option set:
/usr/bin/X -sharevts -layout akari -seat akari -isolateDevice PCI:4:0:0
-keeptty :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-gI3Qic
and check /var/log/Xorg.?.log to see if the evdev devices are recognzied.
In xorg.conf, you can let X pick its own input devices:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "akari"
Screen 0 "akari-scr" 0 0
# InputDevice "akari-kbd" "CoreKeyboard"
# InputDevice "akari-mouse" "CorePointer"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "true"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"
EndSection
Now you can have multi-seat with automagic keyboard and mouse detection.
