Hello,
things are getting worse than ever. Until OpenSuSE 12.1 I had a working
dualseat configuration with separated mice and keyboards for years. Now, with
SuSE 12.2, xorg 7.6, two nvidia cards (610GT and 430GT) and the newest driver
nvidia-computeG02-304.64-22.1.x86_64 I cannot even start two x Servers any
more, no matter if I use one xorg.conf as shown below or two
xorg.conf.seat[1,2] as recommended in http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Multiseat
because when the display cable is connected to the second seat the X-Server
now just crashes and the computer needs a reboot.
The error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log says:
NVIDIA(GPU-1): Failed to allocate EVO core DMA push buffer
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
and if you google this, you find in
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=185042
nvidia saying "Multiseat configurations are not supported, I'm afraid. Sorry."
This is incredible, who the hell does such stupid things and: why?
So after frustrating hours of playing with different graphic cards and
configurations all I know is that I should never have updated the working
configuration; the rest is nothing but bull shit.
Now, for the very last chance before giving up with multiseat on Linux - are
there any hints of wise old Scandinavian men left?
Thanks,
Ditmar.

Ditmar,
as you use recent version of xorg and most probably recent udev version, it is
recommanded that you setup a hotplugged based setup.
please refer to this tutorial: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Multiseat
this will most probably solve all your issues.

alright"

Subject: xorg 7.6, 2-seat environment, no mice
Hello,
I've upgraded from OpenSuSE 12.1 to 12.2 with xorg 7.6 in a 2-seat environment
and cannot separate mice any more.
Different to the situation before the upgrade I cannot switch off
Section "ServerLayout"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "on"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "on"
without switching off both mice. Switching it ON leads to the input off
both keyb. and mice on both screens which makes the multiseat environment
unusable.
Switching it OFF leads to Xorg.[0,1].log
config/udev: Adding input device Logitech USB Receiver (/dev/input/event0)
AutoAddDevices is off - not adding device.
although the keyboards DO work
and
config/udev: Adding input device Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver
(/dev/input/mouse1)
AutoAddDevices is off - not adding device.
and both mice are dead.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ditmar.
