I'll try to make a case for multiseat: 1) It is associated with two of the last 5 question on lightdm present in
https://launchpad.net/lightdm today. 2) Multiseat is considered a major benefit of Fedora 17 and Gnome 3.4: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/multi-seat.html http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.4/ (see hardware section) That is, multiseat, is trying to go mainstream specially with pluggable USB multiseat devices as the one made by pluggable.com. 3) It may have few users because it was never well supported in "plain" Ubuntu. For example the following the official Wiki pages for multiseat suggest that "The predominant display manager of choice has been KDM" (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX). So maybe the users are just using KDM instead of lightdm. Easy multiseat would be a very nice addition to Ubuntu as it would allow for easy and efficient sharing of todays overpowered (for the vast majority) desktop computers. Anyhow, I am not sure this is enough to bump up the importance of this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/976124 Title: lightdm multiseat: no login possible Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: I am testing a multiseat setup with precise: One XServer is running on intel graphics card, a second one is running on a DisplayLink (usb video) device.
