That doesn't seem to be working for me. I hit <alt><ctrl><f2> to switch to a new terminal, and then I login. Then when I type "startx -- :2" it gives me a list of the options, which I figure is because I never really give it an option with the space between the "-" and ":". So, I then tried "startx --:2", but then that gives me this: ------------------ Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages -------------------- Then it hangs, and I have to hit <ctrl>c to bring back the prompt. And no I do not have a ".XO-lock" file in /tmp. The same exact thing also happens with "startx --: 2" or "startx -- : 2" (notice the slight changes in spacing) if that would affect it any. I know I've gotten two X sessions going at once before, but apparently I didn't do it the way you instructed. > startx -- :2 > Good try though! > -=Ron=- > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2000 2:44 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Re(4): [newbie] need KDE login screenshots.... > > > On Tue, 9 May 2000, Dave Lers wrote: > > I think when you log in on tty2, you can run a second X session by running > > startx : --2 > > or something along those lines.
