Seatd is a seat manager and provides user sessions (mostly compositors) with access to input and output devices.

See the seatd documentation for further details.

When using elogind, seatd is not required and viceversa.

Installation

apk add seatd # install seatd rc-update add seatd # configure it to auto-start service seatd start # start it now adduser $USER seat # allow current user to access seatd

If you are already logged in as a $USER, you will need to relogin.
