How to set up a multiseat system?
Multi-seat support for LightDM was discussed during development and a fix has been released for Oneiric:
Support multi-seat setup. This is (I think) when you run two sessions on a single X server (with two displays/keyboards/mice).
The basic configuration of lightdm.conf is
[LightDM]
displays=display0 display1
[display0]
xserver=xserver0
[display1]
xserver=xserver1
[xserver0]
layout=layout0
[xserver1]
layout=layout1
The lead developer also gives this example in the report:
[LightDM]
xserver=default-xserver
[default-xserver]
command=/usr/bin/X -foo
config-file=/etc/X-foo.conf
layout=layout0
Thus for each video card you need to define an X-session (through xnest & xephir)
In the report a specific example of a xorg.conf file should support for multiple nvidia displays.
In terms with running multiple X sessions from one video card this is currently unsupported.
I hope this answer gives you some ideas to work through.

Panther over 12 yearsThe only reference I know of is here : help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX I have no experience with this uncommon setup.

Rodrigo Martins de Oliveira over 12 yearsThanks, I already read that, but as far as I know that instructions are for GDM, not LightDM and the GDM you have to use is an older version, I don't want it.

Rodrigo Martins de Oliveira over 12 years@fossfreedom - This is just what I'm trying to do, but I cannot really test my LightDM configurations until I have my xorg configured, I know how to basically modify the xorg configurations, but I don't know how to say to it start a layout using the screen attached to the VGA output. I'll update my question about it. Make your comment an answer and I will award the bounty to you.
