I don't think xephyr/xnest would be the best way to do multiseat in linux. I much prefer alternative approaches. Anyway I don't have an answer to your question. :) There seem to be no equivalent of evdev on BSD. For good reason of course. I believe the only way out is to first demux the mouse and keyboard for each of the seats. If you spend a few days and hack the FreeBSD kernel you should be able to do it. Reading the sysmouse and vidcontrol man pages and source should get you started. I shall be interested in your findings.:) Thanks. regards, Girish
