Multiseat in Debian 6

TimmyTurner · 07-07-2011, 09:15 AM

I found somethin here: http://wiki.debian.org/Multi_Seat_Debian_HOWTO but it seems that this article is old, cuz it talks about gdm2.3 and squeeze brings gdm3 , as it says we must make changes in gdm.conf, but there is no gdm.conf in /etc/gdm anymore. also talks about xorg.conf which doesn't exist anymore .I searched for multiseat debian squeeze, but everythin I've gotten have been non-eng. may anyone help me? :'(
I want to share my PC with my partner in the office.

The location has moved. See below.

I am not positive if that article is still valid though. I would try but make back up's of the config files so you can restore if needed.

Xorg.con is deprecated,but it can still be used (on my system there is an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory with 10 files containing the contents of xorg.conf...). So create (or copy) one and edit as you want.

Look here for my experiences and further links: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...tiseat-870463/
