I'm trying to set up a multiseat configuration on a single video card (Nvidia GTX 680) under Kubuntu 14.04. I can run two x-screens for one user, what nvidia-settings natively supports. So I think this should be possible.

Unfortunately my second screen stays black after booting but when I start another x-server in the second terminal it shows up at the second screen and the first one stays black.

Is there a way to show both at the same time?

My current settings are:

lightdm.conf:

[LightDM]
minimum-display-number=0
minimum-vt=7

[SeatDefaults]
xserver-command=X
allow-guest=false

[Seat:0]
xserver-command=X :0
xserver-config=xorg_seat0.conf

[Seat:1]
xserver-command=X :1 -sharevts
xserver-config=xorg_seat1.conf

xorg_seat0.conf:
