If I leave the :1 line uncommented and restart the machine I get the grey screen with no login box. I comment the line, then ctl-bkspc and I get a login box.'X :1' will start another X session. However, nothing is running. No window manager, no xterm, etc. In order to run programs there you have to 'export DISPLAY=:1.0' in the console and then ex to start kde run startkde. I've had some weird results though. There's probably a much easier way to do it, but I know that works.
Also, my Xserver file has no space between the : and the number 0 or 1.

I start up using xdm and get an login window on vt7 from which I can login. However, if I got to another console (say vt5) and run startx I am told that display 0 is in use - well of course it is! I have /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers setup as this:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
I've checked the bug about pam_env.conf messing up things so I commented out the display and Xauth lines but still does not work.
What is the proper way to stop and restart X when running in this mode? I tried /etc/init.d/xdm restart and that simply gives me a grey X screen with a cursor instead of a login box.
Thanks.
