Hello,

finally I found time to upgrade to xorg-x11 7.0.0 rc4. This time, migration went fine.

Now  could try the intructions of

. Basically, it works out of the box.
However, the evdev lacks Xkb support. Therefore, you are limited to the english keyboard layout. For my setup, I require two different layouts my own customized dvorak and a german layout for the second seat). As the implementaiton of the evdev driver is straight forward, I modified the driver to reflect my layouts.

The second downside of this migration occurs when using more than one monitor/screen/... per seat. I wanted to use 4 for the 1st seat and 1 for the second. Everything starts fine and works good. -- At least until any of those displays of seat one are used that are :0.0 (i.e.: :0.1, :0.2, :0.3). If I move the cursor to any such display, the 1st seat hangs. If I use the second seat to start an xterm on such a display, the 1st seat hangs.

The synopsis:
If you use one display per seat, everything works out of the box. If you do not want to mess with the evdev driver, you are bound to an english keyboard layout.


Kind regards,
Christian
