Multiple Mouse Cursors in Wayland
A blog post examines the current state of multi-seat support on Linux and Wayland for using multiple mice and keyboards with multiple cursors on one desktop. It finds the core Wayland protocol and some components such as Weston and wayvnc to be relatively capable, while other compositors and libraries still have missing or incomplete support. The author also published small tools and patched libraries to improve multi-seat functionality and invited contributors to help develop the area further.
