[Xcb] Multiseat game with XCB.

[Christ-Jan Wijtmans]

I have been programming a gaming engine for a game i want to develop.
Thought i would be smart and parse udev files myself which is easy enough,
however i quickly discovered that you require root privileges for that on
(nearly?)all distros and the only way to get input is to go through the
displaymanager or whatever makes it go through the window tree. Which made
me wonder how would SteamOS handle such a thing with multiple controllers?
Anyhow i do not believe through XCB i can see what device the input came
from? And how would wayland handle such a thing?
Could XCB be patched up so it would give some device information(all i need
is an id but a name of the device would be useful to) on input events or is
it completely abstracted from xorg-server?

Live long and prosper,
