And you don't have X running on the console which you started it from - unless the console where you ran the 'startx' command was vt7, vt8, or vt9, respectively. > If that is going to change under systemd then that is a reason for me > to avoid the switch if at all possible. According to my understanding from the discussions I've read: under systemd, if you run 'startx' with no options from vt1, it will cause X to launch on vt1 - whereas under sysvinit, doing that will cause X to launch on vt7. If you're explicitly specifying the vt to use in your startx command (which I think you may be, from your mention of launch aliases for the different X sessions), I *think* that should continue to work, but I'm not remotely an expert on this. I would strongly advise you to read up on the subject, or even (if opportunity permits) to experiment, e.g. in a VM. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
