Hi there!

Oleg Samarin, who introduced the "master-of-seat" concept in systemd-logind, has recently submitted a patch for xorg-server that introduces a new capability: MatchSeat. The concept is explained here:

and the patch is available here:

As you can see, it includes my small patch for fixing that "no devices detected" error. In fact, I've shared privately this patch with him before opening bug freedesktop#66851, and I believe it makes more sense to include my patch in a more comprehensive work like his.

I strongly recommend that you try this new patch. I'll finally begin my switch back to Ubuntu tomorrow, so I can upload to Multiseat PPA soon.
