Hi lib13,
Just realised I made a mistake with my reply. As you have found, it is easy to specify the screens. The mice can also be separated for each seat, after disabling moused, which uses the sysmouse driver (I think you just comment out
enable_moused=YES in
/etc/rc.conf). I think the message about SysMouse protocol in your log file is fine - this is the xorg mouse protocol, not the FreeBSD mouse driver. But it is confusing. Also, I think you need ums0 and ums1, not ums0 and ums2.
As regards the keyboards, I incorrectly said to put the ukbd device files in each InputDevice section. It should only be the second seat that needs this, as the first talks to the first keyboard via syscons (in my case) or vt (in yours).
I'll walk through what I did, for FreeBSD 9.3 running the syscons terminal driver. I used two xorg.conf files, whereas you use one xorg.conf file with two ServerLayout sections, which is fine.
Below are the relevant sections from my xorg.conf for the first seat:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/ums0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:64:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSection
And for the second seat:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Device" "/dev/ukbd0"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/ums1"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:96:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080"
EndSubSection
EndSection
So the mice are straightforward - disable moused (which uses the sysmouse driver) and specify /dev/ums0 and /dev/ums1 as above. The screens should also be straightforward as the drivers should pick up the card. The only difficulty is if you have two cards using the same driver, as I do. Hence, for me, I need the BusID lines in the Device sections, but you are ok.
The keyboards are the most difficult to separate, as there is interaction with the syscons driver (for me) or the new vt driver (for you). I can only explain how it works with syscons, hopefully someone with experience of vt can help with this part (it may be very similar or identical).
Firstly, you must disable kbdmux, as you have done.
The keyboard layout for the first seat does not specify a device in
/dev - it is talking to the first keyboard through the syscons driver. This is the bit I got wrong in my post. The second seat talks to the keyboard driver for the second keyboard through
/dev/ukbd0 (in my case, as I have a PS/2 keyboard and a USB keyboard - the PS/2 keyboard gets taken by syscons).
There are two relevant keyboard modes - XLATE and RAW. Xorg is expecting to talk to the keyboard driver in RAW mode, which works fine with syscons and vt. However, the default mode for the ukbd driver is XLATE, and this needs to be changed to RAW. There may be a sysctl knob in FreeBSD 10 for this, but I just recompiled the ukbd driver after changing the following line in
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/input/ukbd.c:
Code:
Find line with: sc->sc_mode = K_XLATE;
Change to: sc->sc_mode = K_RAW;
If you like, you can just recompile the kernel using the handbook instructions, this will recompile the ukbd driver too.
I think this may cause the biggest issue for you, as you have two USB keyboards, one being grabbed by vt. If there is no knob to change the ukbd driver to RAW mode, then recompiling the ukbd driver as above will mean the second seat works, but will probably cause it not to work properly with vt, and hence the first seat. However, I don't know. My first keyboard is a PS/2 keyboard, so the PS/2 keyboard driver is unaffected by changing the ukbd driver, and works fine with syscons.
Have you a PS/2 port and a USB to PS/2 converter for the first keyboard? I think then you will definitely be able to get it to work, though admittedly the setup is a bit fiddly (but very stable once working).
Thanks, Richard
If it's any help, these are relevant bits from my xorg log files for both seats.
