multiple X sessions problem
(this is a repost) Hi all, my problem is that I cannot run more than one X server at the same time. When I am logged in as a user one and run startx on display :0.0, I do Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in as a user two and type startx -- :1.0 The second X server attempts to start (the gray default background appears) and gets stuck at that point. Going back to the Ctrl-Alt-F2 screen the erron message is : AUDIT ...(time and date)... 2144 X:client 1 rejected from local host Xlib: connection to :1.0 refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorised to connect to server Does anybody know what can be done? I am using kernel 2.0.31, with the following X configuration: XFree86 Version 3.3 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: Jun 2 1997 Operating System: Linux 2.0.21 i486 [ELF] Configured drivers: S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) newmmio, mmio_928, s3_generic Thanks in advance Manos -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

thanks a lot!!!

I tried the second option and works :-) thanks to everybody that replied Manos On Tue, 25 Nov 1997, Ted Harding wrote: On 25-Nov-97 E Papantoniou wrote: Hi, when I am logged in as a user and I run X windows, I press Ctrl-Alt-F2 and as expected a new terminal comes up.

You don't correct it: it is correct already. You cannot run 2 X sessions on the same display (:0.0 in your case).** If you need to, you can start an independent X session on a different display (say :1.0; if your first was on VT7 then the next will be on VT8), but probably you only need to get xterm windows owned by a different user opened on the X display you already have. To do this, all you need to do is, say, Ctrl-Alt-F2, login as the new user, and then, from this terminal, do xterm [options] -display :0.0 . Then (Alt-F7) switch back to the X display and you will have a new xterm owned as a logged-in window by the user newly logged in on VT2. From this xterm, the new user can start up any applications all of which will be owned by him. (This user may then log out from VT2, provided the was used). In this way, any number of users can have their own user-owned windows on a single X display, just as if each user had started up X -- with the difference that the X background, or root window, and the window manager, will be owned by the user who originally started X, so that all applications started up by clicking on root-window menus or on button-bars will again be owned by the original user. If you don't want that, and you do need to start an independent X session on display :1.0, then do something like startx -- :1 [other server options e.g. -bpp 16] and you will then have 2 X displays, and you switch between them with Ctrl-Alt-F7, Ctrl-Alt-F8 However, the switch is always cumbersome and the previous approach is usually preferable, provided it is sufficient. Hope this helps. Ted. ** Actually, while this is a correct statement, you CAN run startx as a new user provided your xinitrc and wmrc are set up in a certain way: the attempt to start a new X session will fail, for the reason given, likewise for the WM, but you can persuade the applications which the WM would have started up to be started up on behalf of the new user, and they will overlay the old ones; but this is a perverse way to achieve the multi-user in one X result, E-Mail: Ted Harding [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 25-Nov-97 Time: 17:55:44 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

how to reduce colors used by netscape?
Hi all, I am using a program that requires several colors available to operate ptoperly. For example, if netscape is open and I use the other program, whenever I enter its window with the mouse pointer, all the colors outside that window change. I have read that to correct the problem I must reduce the colors used by netscape...does anybody know in which file are these defined? thanks Manos -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
