You have to set initdefault of your /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/inittab file to '2'
id:2:initdefault:
and also set your RUNLEVEL equal to 3 in your lts.conf file
RUNLEVEL=3
then add also the following to the LTSP's inittab file
1:3:respawn:/bin/startsess tty1 /bin/bash --login
2:3:respawn:/bin/startsess tty2 /bin/bash --login
3:3:respawn:/bin/startsess tty3 /bin/bash --login
4:3:respawn:/bin/startsess tty4 /bin/bash --login
5:3:respawn:/bin/startsess tty5 /bin/bash --login
then when the ws is up at your tty1 screen type 'sh /tmp/start_ws' this
should start an X session at tty6 <ctr-alt-f6>
then to start another X session press 'ctrl-alt-f2 ' then at the bash promt
type 'ps' this should return you a long listing which include something like
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA -ac -query <ip-address-of-server>
in this case I use XF86_SVGA server (use whatever X server you are using)
then at the bash prompt type the following
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA :1 -ac -query <ip-address-of-server>
* note the presence of ":1" after the XF86_SVGA
this should start another X session this time at tty7 <ctr-alt-f7>
to start another X session (the 3rd X session) press 'ctr-alt-f3'
then repeat the command above but this time use ':2' after the XF86_SVGA
and so on
Hope This Help
