Hi. I'm trying to run a second X session ( :1 ) with a different configuration and resolution from the first one. As TFM says, in order to do it i have to use a second XF86Config file and call xinit like, assuming my second config file is called '/etc/X11/secondconfig' :
xinit [command] -- -xf86config secondconfig :1 right? no. here's the problem: the second session (in vt8) starts up fine, but the xterm that is supposed to include gets launched in the FIRST display! So, the new X session only gives me a solid blue screen and the mouse cursor. No xterm, nothing to do. If i close the xterm that was started in display :0 then the display :1 quits as expected. I have noticed that this does not happen if i don't try to specify a different XF86Config file. But, well, i need to. And i don't want to go around changing XF86Config files back and forth as that would require me to type the root password over and over. has anyone tried to do this before? Thanks. Damian
