           Summary: Multiseat support for Xorg
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise@freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ajax@nwnk.net

This is mostly solved, for linux, by bug #968.  Several other patches exist
against XFree86; example implementations:

http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/
http://www.itsopen.net/projects/x-hack/

Both of these are unusable as-is because the 'usbev' driver they use is lifted
straight from GPL'd code (though the itsopen solution omits the license header).
 The rest is MIT clean though, and the evdev driver in bug #968 replaces the
usbev driver.

Targetting 6.9 for this, as it's low-impact and widely desired in the user
community.
