.xinitrc example:

sawfish --display :0.0&

with this example if you want to end the Xsession you'll need to
"quit" from :0.1, you can (un)happily quit the windowmanager on :0.0
and X will keep going.

well, but I have no striples on the second monitor,

and I really don't more what I changed in the X86Config-4.

The only thing is that it worked for 10 minutes, till I tried Xinarama mode.
The error logs and the Config File is viewable under
http://134.108.33.50:8080/~hakubw00/XF86Config-4

http://134.108.33.50:8080/~hakubw00/xlog1

http://134.108.33.50:8080/~hakubw00/xlog2

sorry, the striples are back now, now I will try your .xinitrc thing!


thanks

Hi,

Stipples are good, me thinks.  If it's the raw X ugliness at any
rate.  This means X is happy but your windowmanager is only managing
:0.0 and ignoring :0.1 I'd set things as they were and explicitly
start windowmanagers on both displays in your .xinitrc

The conf file and err logs can be viewed at:

First, uncomment that 'Option "Xinerama" "yes"'





done, now x crashes. I had it running with Xinerama commented
