In there any way to enable auto-login per seat?

OS: Arch / DE: KDE Plasma / WM: SDDM

Two GPU's:

iGPU -> seat0 - Auto-login enabled.

dGPU -> seat1 <- I want to enable auto-login here too.

Each seat has it own GPU, monitor and user.

SDDM has this feature as a pull request(https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1071) for some time now. Can I locally merge myself?

Re: In there any way to enable auto-login per seat?

I was trying to reinvent the wheel there. LightDM already has this feature.

[Seat:seat0]
autologin-user=lucas
autologin-session=plasma
autologin-user-timeout=0

[Seat:seat1]
autologin-user=seat1
autologin-session=openbox
autologin-user-timeout=0

Don't forget to create the autologin group and add your users who needs it.

groupadd -r autologin
gpasswd -a username autologin

You gotta love linux and its freedom of choice.
