-----Original Message----- From: Patrick [mailto:penguin0601@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 10:32 AM To: suse-kde@suse.com If I understand you correctly you want to have two X/KDE sessions going at the same time? One session is you and the other your wife, being able to switch between the two with merely a Ctrl-alt-Fxx keystroke? If that is what you want/need, then this is how I do such things:
Drop down to init 3 with Ctrl-Alt-F1 login with the users name & password (your wife?) type "startx -- :1 (new X session will start, new kde) Switch between yourself & wife with Ctrl-Alt-F7 & Ctrl-Alt-F8
Beautiful. Thanks. I had just asked Holger about that when he replied to me privately, so ... no response needed now. I never tried it with just that parameter. I've tied myself in knots attempting to use "startx" commands with parameter lists as long as your arm, and I was always getting additional error messages about "this or that missing" or something not compatible. Too simple. Thanks again. I'll try it as soon as I get a moment to boot Linux. /kevin
