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.
