Hi

AFAIK there's no significant changes in the xgl DDX to change the input 
behavior. Anyway, I don't know how you obtained in Feisty the separate 
keyboards/mice for each seat.

The fact is if you checkout the xgl-0-0-1 branch of the xserver you will 
be able to build an xgl with the x-input-evdev library. Of course you 
will have to clone also this library [0] which I built some time ago 
when I was learning how the stuffs in X land works (so it is a 
incredible shit, but might work). After compiling xgl with 
--enable-xevdev, you will be able to start the multiseat as you desired 
(xorg as "host server" + lot of xglx on the top using the evdev as the 
input driver).


my regards
