[S.u.S.E. Linux] multiple X
How can I start multiple X sessions? I want to have an X session started on VT7, another on VT8. Has anyone done this before? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, C. J.

I just tried that, and it worked! Killed netscape on VT7, but it worked! Eat your heart out MS! (hehe, that is one thing that I have never been able to do in either os/2 or win95, set up more than one virtual console (commandline let alone "win")So there is yet another thing that Linux can do that other OS's cannot:-) -- cya l8r Leon McClatchey leonmcclatchey@homemail.com Linux User 78912 (Linux Box) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
I have managed to modify /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to start two X Windows upon startup (I am using kdm). The lines in that I have in tha file now are: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 -quiet :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08 -quiet Again, thanks a lot to those who helped. Regards, C. J.

Hia all Just to let you know about a cool nesting program that will nest in a "window" another wm of your choice within your "normal" wm. Great for debugging and so on, what ever you can think of its called Xnest.: X332nest.tgz you can find it at ftp.XFree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.2/binaries/Linux-ix86/X332nest.tgz To start it : 1) startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest :1.0 (default wm) 2) startx /usr/X11R6/bin/YOURWM-- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest :1.0 3) or shorter: startx `which yourwm` -- `which Xnest` :1.0 Just a few ideas :) Steven Udell - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I remembered that this was easy as nothing, and that I stored the info. 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@cww.de | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ========================================== /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Thanks a lot for the pointer in Xservers file. I modified the file, and it is working fine with 2 X sessions. Want my copy of the file? Thanks again. Regards, C. J. Tan On Sun, 28 Jun 1998, Juergen Braukmann wrote:
