Public bug reported:
the idea is to configure a X server without any input device (so disabling HAL
auto-adding thing) :
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
Option "DontVTSwitch" "yes"
this configuration should allow to start a X server without any keyboard and
mouse (although physically there are keyboards/mouse connected ;).
this is needed to be able to set up a multi-seat environment, then allowing us
to start 2 Xephyr window whichs grabs one keyboard/mouse each.
so using the xorg.conf attached, X starts fine, without keyboard/mouse support
which is fine (no cross appearing, can't type anything in gdm).
but, if one presses CTRL+ALT+F1 (even ALT+F1 triggers a vt switch) VT switching
works (although disabled in the configuration file) and you ends up on tty1
I believe the expected behavior would be to respect the DontVTSwitch option and
ignore CTRL+ALT+fn keyboard shortcuts (actually I don't know how the server
receives it, since it should not listen to keyboards at all ;)
removing both AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices makes DontVTSwitch works
again (but breaks multi-seat completely ;)
complete xorg.conf attached.
