I do have a somewhat unusual multiseat-setup for a long time. A year ago i had to switch to nvidia nouveau driver because suddenly the nvidia-driver would ignore my second card. (After update: nvidia driver ignores 2nd card - Drivers - Manjaro Linux Forum)
All is well with kernel 4.19
My seat0 has one 4k-monitor +keyboard+mouse+nvidia-card0
My seat1 has two smaller monitors with another keyboard and mouse on a second nvidia-card1
After BOOT i can login at my seat0 with my keyboard and mouse. And my wive can login at seat1 with the second keyboard & mouse (so far so good)
But if i try to use kernel 5.4 or 5.9 this setup behaves odd.
After Boot my loginscreen with my name shows up on the monitor of my wive. My mouse and keyboard also do work only on this screen.
The loginscreen on my monitor has the name of my wive on it, and it does work only with second keyboard & mouse.
So something has switched places.
I thought this may be easy to correct. And i exchanged mouse & keyboard so that all will fit again. And we could work like this.
The strange thing is. This seems to happen randomly at every boot. Has anyone an idea what is happening ???

P.S. loginctl seat-status seat0 (or seat1) seam to be nearly the same in both situations but the first line indicates that the “Sessions: …” is exchanged between seat0 and seat1
