multiseat howto (with some multihead coverage)
==============================================
-host side
----------
+host devices
+------------
First you must compile qemu with a user interface supporting
multihead/multiseat and input event routing. Right now this
the window which belongs to the video.2 display adapter will be routed
to these input devices.
+Starting with qemu 2.4 and linux kernel 4.1 you can also use virtio
+for the input devices, using this ...
+
+ -device pci-bridge,addr=12.0,chassis_nr=2,id=head.2 \
+ -device secondary-vga,bus=head.2,addr=02.0,id=video.2 \
+ -device virtio-keyboard-pci,bus=head.2,addr=03.0,display=video.2 \
+ -device virtio-tablet-pci,bus=head.2,addr=03.0,display=video.2
+
+... instead of xhci and usb hid devices.
+
+host ui
+-------
+
The sdl2 ui will start up with two windows, one for each display
device. The gtk ui will start with a single window and each display
in a separate tab. You can either simply switch tabs to switch heads,

VirtIOInputHID *vhid = VIRTIO_INPUT_HID(dev);
+
vhid->hs = qemu_input_handler_register(dev, vhid->handler);
+ if (vhid->display && vhid->hs) {
+ qemu_input_handler_bind(vhid->hs, vhid->display, vhid->head, NULL);
