In a multiseat Xorg environment, each physical "workstation" (monitor, mouse, keyboard) has its own X server. I haven't set this up myself, but I've thought about doing this instead of just a dual-monitor setup (using two keyboards and mice in seperate locations). With a whole computer lab, I can see there being a very complicated and long xorg.conf file. How did you manage to sort through all of the input devices?<br>
Not Ubuntu related, but Arch wiki has a good article on this: <a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_multiseat#What_is_multiseat.3F">here</a><br>(Long time reader, first poster. :)<br><br>-Colin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Never even heard of it. And at a glance I don't get it. What is<br>
different between "Multiseat" and just using XDMCP (as X-terminals [the<br>
physical things, not "xterm"] have done for years?<br>
