I went digging for about the next hour, because it interested me again. Nothing in the SDB, not much in my stored mails, but on a tiny note paper: here we go: tartx -- :1 -bpp 8 will start another X-server (256 colors) on vt08 [ctrl + alt + f8] If you want a different color depth, make sure there is an appropiate modeline in /etc/xf86config (or however this darn file is called). I found another hint: ee /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers: you can start further x-servers there, but I was *not* so successful like above. I dug through some man pages without success. So, that's all you may squeeze out of me. ;-) Jürgen -- ========================================== __ _ Jürgen Braukmann e-mail: brauki(a)cww.de | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb(a)db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ========================================== /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============0170332929193080393==-- From tanc@cuug.ab.ca Sun Jun 28 22:42:18 1998 From: tanc@cuug.ab.ca To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [S.u.S.E.
