You can check if an X server is running by switching to the other terminals with CTRL-<function key> X normally starts on F8. You can start more than one X server at a time by using startx -- :<number> where the number is for the terminal to connect on starting at 0, so for you if one server is running it would be startx -- :1 Hope this helps, Steve
