This is an odd situation because it can be considered as a 
feature-bloat. We already can do this only setting the DISPLAY 
environment, so we really want a -display option inside the server? I 
think not.

Skip mouse driver ;) I pushed a code of evdev to work against Xephyr 
some time ago and it's working very well here. Did you cloned the last 
fd.o git repositories?

You also mentioned something regarding -geometry. I heard from someone 
that -parent and -fullscreen combo could be useful to do what you want. 
The other option would be to use DevilsPie  (but I never tested both).

So, you probably can set up a multiseat using Xephyr solution with 
everything on upstream :)
