I'm just curious, after looking at this thread (but haven't tried). Could one not start a first X session in one tty, then go to another (ctrol-alt-#) and login as another user and start a different X session? You know, gnu/linux being a multi-user OS and all. Isn't that kind of how a terminal server works, sort of? The OP didn't, I think, specify that he wants two X sessions with the same user. ./tony -- http://www.tonybaldwin.me all tony, all the time! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
