Talk:Multiseat Configuration/Xephyr

If I understand correctly, xephyr needs to run as root to gain access to the ev devices. Is this correct?

Xephyr with KDE
Can you, please, write some wiki about using Xephyr with KDE? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.57.216.190 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 29 March 2007.
 * No analogue for  in kdmrc - impossible. But you can start KDE without any problems. --Yaleks (talk) 11:36, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Missing Xephyr.sh wrapper script
Perhaps it's just me, but the link to the wrapper script redirects to another page. The link to the wrapper is at:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Multiseat_Configuration/Xephyr

If it gets fixed, a message to junkbustr at yahoo dot com would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Andy

Why not just several X servers?
I don't understand why you don't just run one real X server per video card, and make the respective user connect directly to that? Admittedly, I don't have experience with multi head setups (or much knowledge about X in general), so it will be no surprise if I'm missing something, but if this doesn't seem like a too stupid question then maybe you want to answer that in the article. --Pflanze2 (talk) 03:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The proprietary nVidia driver does not give you one display per video output which means you cannot assign one seat per port as required to run multiple X servers. Alexis Wilke (discuss • contribs) 05:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Sigh

 * sigh* this tutorial started out so very good... But then it all became "go to this link and blindly copy the configuration files to here" instead of actually having the configuration in-document and explain what is being done. The links are broken; the lower half of this tutorial is now rendered useless.
 * Huh. I stand truly corrected. I just assumed everything which would follow would be useless due to the break in the chain, but just below there is a section which explains how to do everything manually. I blame it on tiredness, I suppose. Sorry, and thank you, author!
