My aim is to build a multiseat config with 2 nvidia boards, 2 monitors, 2 keyboards and 2 mouses for 3D CFD data visualisations. I'm using the nvidia driver. To launch my test config I had to setup /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers with:

:0 local /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -config /root/xorg.conf.new -layout seat0 -nolisten tcp -br vt7 :1 local /usr/bin/Xorg :1 -config /root/xorg.conf.new -layout seat1 -nolisten tcp -br vt8 -sharevts

I've read on several discussions that the "-sharevts" should be used (it does'nt work without it) but I do not understand what this option does and it is not documented in xorg man page.

But I've still some problems with this config. To run a first test, I've used glxgears. Even if I have 2 graphic boards, if I launch glxgears in the 2 sessions the application is 30% slower tan if it is runing only in one session from7370 FPS to 5290 FPS.

The server is a 6 cores Xeon with 24Gbytes of memory with two nvidia FX4800 and each glxgears is on a separate core, runing at 100%.

Thanks for your advices.

Patrick
