Title:
[SRU] Backport upstream multi-seat patches for Xephyr in Xenial
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
[Impact]
Some valuable patches [1] for input-hotplugging and single-GPU multi-
seat support in Xephyr were upstreamed and scheduled for next major
release (1.19). It would be a quite valuable feature for a LTS
release, without need to maintain a forked package in Ubuntu Multiset
PPA. Plase consider backporting them to Xenial.

[Test Case]
Run Xephyr with option "-seat seat-XXXX", where seat-XXXX is a valid
seat name (i.e. it must correspond to a seat already present in
"loginctl list-seats" output). Without those patches, Xephyr is unable
to grab that seat's input devices properly.
[Regression Potential]
Very low. It only affects Xephyr when executed with -seat command-line
option. For ordinary Xephyr use case (without -seat option), nothing
changes.
