Even after lots of readings and many tries, I am not able to set up a
working dual seat configuration on my machine.
I have two users, two monitors, two mouses, two keyboard,
unfortunately one only nvidia card. But from what I read, it is
possible to have two users both logged and sharing only the video
card.
My issues:
- I can not limit one user to one monitor. The screen uses the two monitots.
- Second user has a "double" task bar in his mate session. Everything
is repeated twice.
-First user log with lightdm with one only keyboard & mouse (second
pair is automatically dis activated). But for the second, I have to
Ctrl+Alt+Fn, then $ startx at login promp, or switch user with
lightdm. I guess it is not the expected behaviour.
Below are my settings.
/etc/X11/xrog.conf.d/15-seat.conf (the only one xorg conf file).
