With my old ATI Radeon graphics card and the Open Source driver radeon I was able to run multiple X sessions with one graphics card and one display, e.g. KDE Plasma on tty7 and GNOME on tty8.
I tried the same with my NVidia card and the proprietary driver. The second X session (started from KDE Plasma 5 menu; display manager is SDDM) fails. /var/log/Xorg.1.log says:
[ 29452.803] (II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0) [ 29452.803] (EE) /dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied [...]
It isn't only a permissions problem. Also when I change the permissions on /dev/dri/card0 manually to crw-rw-rw-+ the second session does not start, but replaces the first session.
I also tried this trick without success (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf is correct for openSUSE Tumbleweed):

Any tips?
Not sure what is going on. I am able to run as many as 3 x-sessions, never tried 4. "start x /usr/bin/icewm -- :0" and changd ":0" to ":1" and .. each sessions starts and is usable. I sometime have sessions running for my wife to use when I step away :) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
