Yes I can.

Unfortunately evdev can only handle /dev/input/event[0-9] in xorg.conf.  
Pointing evdev to something like /dev/input/by-path/InsertUSBAdddressHere is 
not possible (at least in Ubuntu Gutsy and all previous releases of Ubuntu -- I 
would imagine it would be the same for Debian).  Even something like 
/dev/input/event-kbd[0-9] can't be handled.

My research in evdev so far leads me to believe the I can't get the kernel to 
fix the evdev[0-9] assignments.

Right now, I have a couple of multiseat PCs set up and I had to make a script 
to make an xorg.conf that points to the proper devices everytime the PC gets 
booted/rebooted.  The script gets called before gdm is started.

I haven't read up on the hw virtualization capabilities of Xen or QEMU.  But if 
it can be setup in Xen or QEMU such that:

Seat 1: PS2 Keyboard, PS2 Mouse ports, Built-in Video, Built-in Sound card
Seat 2: USB port 1 (with a hub connected for kbd, mouse, sound) + PCI slot 1 
for video
Seat 3: USB port 2 (with a hub connected for kbd, mouse, sound) + PCI slot 2 
for video

and so on...

then I don't have to worry about evdev.

PS. I saw before in a shop in Festival Mall, Alabang a USB-based VGA device.  
Anybody knows if this is supported by Linux?
