No specific reason. linux worked hard to get multiseat working.

Can we have a free ride? I doubt very much.

Hardware?

It doesn't take much. I have them with me. I got them working with
gentoo. All it takes is an additional PCI VGA card.

It was unstable but fairly usable. Does that sound contradictory? :)

I did not use xephyr or xnest. I straight away used the evdev drivers.

I don't have the bandwidth to do the same thing with FreeBSD.

Moreover I have moved on to other things.
