[Solved] Xephyr multiseat 1 graphics card - no mouse pointer

Trying to get Multi seat with one graphics card and two monitors working. I've got Xephyr working so it captures an airMouse/keyboard and I can be used separately from main mouse/keyboard.

sudo Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 1024x768 :1 -mouse evdev,,,device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-_Multimedia_Air_Mouse_Keyboard-if01-event-mouse -mouse evdev,,,device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-_Multimedia_Air_Mouse_Keyboard-if01-mouse -keybd evdev,,,device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-_Multimedia_Air_Mouse_Keyboard-event-kbd -host-cursor

if I launch programs or wm from another terminal for DISPLAY :1, then the mouse/keyboard funtions but theres no pointer visible, but mouse clicks etc do work.

DISPLAY=":1"
sudo -u otheruser xfce4-session or
sudo -u otheruser mate-session or
sudo -u otheruser i3

Funny is though mouse pointer works launching just "kodi"

Any thoughts ?
