Package: xinit Version: 1.0.9-2 Followup-For: Bug #435198 This bug seems to be random. I had this bug yesterday but today i couldn't reproduce it.
i had a KDE on :0.0, then i switched to a tty and ran as a user: xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1 -depth 16 And there where no xterm on :1. Just the X background. after retrying several times with :2 and /usr/bin/xclock, I figured out that the xterm was launched on :0. in that xterm, the DISPLAY var was ':0.0' setting DISPLAY to :1, i could run whatever i wanted on that screen. but the fact that the initial xterm was run on :0 confused me. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.5batchyx8.7 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xinit depends on: ii cpp 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library xinit recommends no packages. xinit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
