Hi Peter,
Nope - I have had the machine on for a while this morning, and not logged in
via the consoe.

I've just dived in over ssh and extracted these files:
[    12.888] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Mousetop'
[    12.888] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
[    12.888] (**) Option "CorePointer"
[    12.888] (**) Mousetop: always reports core events
[    12.888] (EE) Mousetop: No device specified.
[    12.888] (EE) PreInit returned 2 for "Mousetop"

As the log suggests, you're not specifying a device for Mousetop since
it's commented out:

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier     "Mousetop"
#    Driver         "mouse"
#    Option        "Phys"       "usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.3/input1"
     Driver         "evdev"
     Option        "Phys"       "pci-0000:00:1d.1-usb-0:2:1.1-event-mouse"
#   Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
     Option         "Protocol" "auto"
     Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
     Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

On the one hand, you can fix it, but you'll probably get duplicate
devices since the server is adding devices automatically. Here's your
keyboard getting added:

[    12.977] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech USB
Receiver (/dev/input/event2)
[    12.977] (**) Logitech USB Receiver: Applying InputClass "evdev
keyboard catchall"
[    12.977] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Logitech USB Receiver'
[    12.977] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so

Unless you have a good reason to keep the static InputDevice sections,
you may just want to comment them out and let the server add the
devices as it finds them. If you find that you prefer to keep the
static device configuration for one reason or another, I suggest
adding Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" to your server flags.
I'm setting up 3 seat multiseat (I use it in my company) but getting things embedded down on 1 seat, then I will add the other two. I took "Device" setting out, and tried to use "Phys" instead, as I wondered if /dev/input/event3 would remain event 3 if evdev was wavering for some reason.
Are you saying it is safe to use the event numbers? That is simpler.
I'll add in the AutoAddDevices - thanks for this.
However, Peter's right that your freeze was caused by the nvidia
driver. Fixing these PreInit errors won't change that situation.
Drat :-(
Now to plough through nvidia drivers until it works?
I gather the nouveau drivers wont work for multiseat, so I have to use proprietary nvidia? In etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom I had to fire up 3 servers - do I need to do this for KDM (where?)

Thank & regards,
Zoltan
