I have not tried twn, but the talk on the nvidia forum indicates the window manager is not the problem.
Indeed. But 1 click on the empty Welcome screen will tell you.
see below
I *still* cannot open a second X session, even from the new user, either from the Kicker button or with 'startx -- :N' from level 3 in an f1 - f6 console.
*This* is the same overhere: I can't get a 2nd X session too.
again, see below
btw, I am still on v 9.0. I saw that you were recompiling.
Then you should try asap that driver I was trying to recompile. As you have kernel 2.4, you can try the original driver. Get it directly from:
http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/linux-2.4/
The 1.0-4620 is the latest that was reported to work.
And it does. I cleared /tmp again. Downloaded and installed v 4620 (nvidia). I now can 'init 5' and achieve the log-on screen and log-on as myself, log-off and back on as myself or another user, and again. And, I can open a second and third X session w/o complaint from the system <grin>. Apparently, the entire problem is the nvidia drivers with my video card and, perhaps, kernel ver 2.4.21-231-default. Since you have access to the nvidia forum, would you post this info there? Thanks for everyone's efforts and concerns. If there are further tests or combinations of test conditions that need to be made, I will attempt. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
