Hi All, from the command line, you can start X which will give a black and white screen. Switching back to the command line you can then run an X application.
It's been a while since I have last done this but a quick google showed that Assuming that you have X windows running already:- xinit -- :1 & this starts X with a xterm running. DISPLAY=:1.0 fgfs The command above should start Flightgear. I say should as I am not near my FlightGear computer, but worked for other applications. After you figure what needs to happen at startup, you can create or modify the start scripts to suit. Anyway, that should get you started. This is really more about the underlying distribution and it's secuirty policy.
