    That does not seem to be quite the same.
    I use Multi-Seat Ruby for multiple displays/keyboards/mice on 1 PC and I
    ran into udev installing gnome-volume-manager, which uses hal, which
    wants udev.

    I put nvidia in /etc/modules and only one server started instead of the 2.

    I started reading the manpage for udev, I must say, it is hard going on
    an empty stomach.
