Hi all,

I am interested in making a multiseat gaming system with only one graphics card.  As of now, I have a two terminal system, one of which is capable of playing games requiring opengl.  The other is just a web browser.  I just wanted to share what I've done, what I'm thinking, and ask for input from those here who know more than me.

PROBLEM:
Multiseat set ups on only one graphics card must rely on Xephyr, which does not do hardware accelerated opengl (not sure if this is true), thus games will not run through Xephyr.

SOLUTION:
Use xorg.conf to set up two distinct screens.
An other way is to use Gnome 3.8> with systemd204> As long as you use open drivers it works
see: http://code.lexarcana.com/blog/2012/06/17/simple-multiseat-setup-on-fedora-17/

I don't know if it works with only one card, but if #loginctl seat-status seat0
shows two graphics devices, it should. (you can try with a live Fedora version)

When you need proprietary drivers you can patch the xserver

good luck,
