Trying it out on a gigabyte AB350+ Ryzen 5 2600gpu. Which has 3 outputs. With loginctl I can split the devices between 2 seats quite easily.
There are you using the On-Board Display ports as seat 0, and the addon GPU ports as seat1? Or do you have multiple on-board ports with a single display controller serviing multiple seats?
Single on board gpu (AMD Vega11) with multiple display controllers. There are 3 - HDMI, D-sub (VGA) and DVI-D I am trying to use HDMI and VGA. So far havent been able to start 2 independent tty or x session, one each on each display. It is always one login. Copy whne it is a tty and xinerama when X. Option Xinerama 0 has no effect. lightdm starts 2 X sessions one for seat0 and one for seat-1 but gets no response from the one being started on VGA, and shuts that down.
Could you share your 'loginctl seat-status' output?
Will post later alongwith xorg.0.log xorg.1.log.
