            Bug ID: 66501
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Feature request: support multiseat for a single
                    multi-headed graphics card
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: lbsousajr at gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: wayland
           Product: Wayland

As long as more display managers gain support to logind's automatic multiseat
feature, it would be nice if the couple "Wayland + multiseat capable display
manager" also support multiseat for a single multi-headed graphics card.

Currently in X.Org, the only way to do such a thing is launching a bare (no
greeter) X server spanning all available monitors, on top of which one launches
nested X servers (usually Xephyr windows), one for each seat.

I wonder if Wayland could support this feature without the need of nested
servers.

NOTE: I'm not sure if it should be related to Wayland or Weston.
