[Libdlo] Multiseat config problem...

Hi All,

I'm trying to get a Multiseat config setup on a Debian 5.0 (lenny)
system.  The "hard" part seems to work.  I have the fb module and xorg
driver built and I get a text terminal and can manually start X on the
DisplayLink device.

But it seems there something not right with
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-usbseat.rules 

I have the Display link, keyboard and mouse plugged into a powered
USB2 hub (with nothing else on that hub) but I don't get anything in
/dev/usbseat, infact I don't even get a /dev/usbseat.  Not quite sure
what to look for,  while I'm not terribly familiar with udev, it seems
pretty simple:

# aliases for display, kbd, mouse attached to specific hubs

KERNEL=="fb*",SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",PROGRAM="/bin/cat /sys/%p/../../../devnum",SYMLINK+="usbseat/%c/display"
KERNEL=="mouse*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="03", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /sys/%p/../../../../../devnum",SYMLINK+="usbseat/%c/mouse"
KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="03", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="01",PROGRAM="/bin/cat /sys/%p/../../../../../devnum",SYMLINK+="usbseat/%c/keyboard"



Also if I reboot with the display link attached, the boot process
hangs sometime _after_ switching the console to the displaylink
device.  Sorry didn't quite catch what it was trying to do, so don't
expect much enlightenment on this point.

Thanks,
-Jon
