I could *swear* I'd seen this was possible, but....
Already running lightdm->fvwm on vt7 (my usual setup).
I would like to experiment with another windowmananger without having to drop my normal setup. I *thought* it was something like
1. Get into another vt, log in. 2. `startx -- :1`
However when I tried that it trashed the X session on vt7.
What exactly does "trashed the X session" mean?
Just for clarification: if I switch back to VT7 with CTRL-ALT-F7, the gui is gone and I'm looking at the end of the startup console lines.
This could be due to X server crashing or due to your GUI session deciding to finish or due to your GUI session crashing. Without logs it is impossible to even start guessing.
