It seems to me, that Xephyr just can't handle pointer drivers, but Xomap can. Is that right?

I did a lot of research (at 3am) on this, maybe you're not using the right format? There are a lot of multi-seat tutorials that have a script that can use the -mouse parameter in Xephyr... Everything I've seen suggests that the -mouse parameter doesn't enable any new features (except enabling extra mouse buttons), it just selects between inputs listed here:

Code:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

On the other hand, lots of people seem to be complaining, as you do, of missing support for mouse features, so maybe you're right, Xephyr just won't be able to do it without patches...

Has anyone tried setting up libgtkstylus.so and then running xfce4 on Xephyr? Maybe the problem is the WM?

Anyway, this is definitely a conversation for the advanced thread.
