First user logs on, starts Xserver with startx (available via Ctrl-Alt-F7) Second user logs on, starts Xserver with startx -- :1 (available via Ctrl-Alt-F8) I have a 486 100 with 16Mb of RAM and 2Mb graphics on which I *always* run *three* Xservers simultaneously in this way. (OK, if I push the total number of simultaneous applications to something silly, one will eventually go b&w on me, but it's all incredibly stable and reliable.) msw -- Martin Wheeler - StarTEXT, Glastonbury, Somerset, England - BA6 9PH [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.startext.co.uk/
