It does not work for me... Could someone interpret the error message?

Re: Is it possible to start X Windows in multiple V/C .
Are you really, really sure you did not forget the space after those two slashes. I use the command almost every day and it works just fine. However, if if type startx --:1 ^^^-- note, no space after the second slash I get the same error as you about X already being active for display 0. The two slashes mean that there are no more arguments to the startx script and all the following arguments should be passed to the X server. In this case the X server is started as X :1 and it starts on VC8. // Heikki -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
