Multi-seat status ?

Hi all,
I've seen there's been some discussion about multi-seat in the past few months
and patches flying around. I'd like to ask what's the current status of
multi-seat support? Is there a howto for configuration, known bugs, etc.

I'd like to test it on physical hardware (not sure if it can be tested on
virtual machine) and pointers to documentation about configuring the seats will
be helpful.

Regards,
Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

Ray and myself worked for multi-seat both on ConsoleKit and GDM side.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ConsoleKit/log/?h=multi-seat
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gdm/log/?h=display-configuration

 From my point of view, the whole work is under last development phase.

OpenSolaris used the multi-seat branch for latest two builds, I would
like to offer test report on Linux
next week. Jon and Ray suppose to start review the process after that.
Hopefully, the branches can
merged into master and be included in next release.

You can refer to design document[1] and testing document[2] I wrote.
They are kind of out-of-date, I'll update
them later.

I will be very helpful you can test the multi-seat feature, please feel
free to send emails if you have problem.
