Running Xorg inside a container #258

I'm trying to figure out the secret behind running Xorg in a container. I managed to get it running, but now I'm stuck at the last step: unresponsive keyboard and mouse. I saw that you had the same problem in #7; did you have any luck with it?

I thought that's what --xorg option does, but from what I see it just runs another Xorg instance on the host, and connects the container to it. What I want is to avoid depending on the host's Xorg - for example, sometimes I want to try another version of Xorg. Ideally, I wanted to be able to run Wayland this way as well - not depending on anything on the host at all, except the kernel and the kernel graphics driver.

Or am I misunderstanding things, and --xorg actually runs the Xorg server in the container?
