- Description:
- seatd is a seat management daemon, that does everything it needs to
do. Nothing more, nothing less. Depends only on libc.
libseat is a seat management library allowing applications to use
whatever seat management is available.
Supports:
- seatd
- (e)logind
- embedded seatd for standalone operation
Each backend can be compile-time included and is runtime auto-detected
or manually selected with the `LIBSEAT_BACKEND` environment variable.
Which backend is in use is transparent to the application, providing a
simple common interface.

Configuration Options:- ===> The following configuration options are available for seatd-0.9.1:
BASU=on: ConsoleKit2 support via basu (experimental)
MANPAGES=on: Build and/or install manual pages
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- Options name:
- sysutils_seatd
- USES:
- compiler:c11 cpe meson pkgconfig
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- libseat is used to get DRM master and input devices for non-root users.
On Wayland this is only necessary when starting a compositor under KMS
console (e.g., /dev/ttyv0 backed by /dev/dri/card0). Nested sessions like
"Wayland on X11" or "Wayland on Wayland" don't need extra configuration.
By default libseat tries to find the first working backend. To override
set LIBSEAT_BACKEND via environ(7). Available backends and try order:
* "seatd" - seatd-launch(1) or seatd rc.d(8) service
* "consolekit2" - ck-launch-session(1) or pam_ck_connector(8)
"seatd" backend requires membership in "video" group to be allowed to
use setuid bit in seatd-launch(1) or connect to seatd(1) socket.
# pw groupmod video -m <user>
$ exit # log out to refresh group permissions
For example, to start a wlroots-based compositor replace "sway" with
your compositor (e.g., "hikari", "wayfire", "labwc", "river") then run
$ seatd-launch sway
Alternatively, configure and run seatd(1) as system service
# sysrc seatd_enable=YES
# service seatd start
$ sway
To use ConsoleKit2 run
# pkg install consolekit2 basu
# sysrc -x seatd_enable
# service seatd stop
# sysrc dbus_enable=YES
# service dbus start
$ ck-launch-session sway
where "ck-launch-session" can be dropped after
# echo "session optional pam_ck_connector.so" >>/etc/pam.d/system
$ exit # log out to re-trigger PAM
