I presume this hardware is not marked for "auto seat" yet, using
udev's ID_AUTO_SEAT property. If you let me know USB product and
vendor id of this device (as reported by lsusb in hex) I'll add it to
the default rules files. If that's done then just plugging in the
device will make it a new seat, without any configuration.

Well, the closed source nvidia driver won't work out of the box. Only
the DRM driver is supported nicely with logind, as it exposes proper
DRM APIs.
