Re: X related questions
I have a slightly different question. I have x/xdm running fine on vt7 on bootup. However, I'd like to be able to start a second X session on vt8, so that, if I am logged into X on vt7 and have locked the screen with xlock, other people can hit cntrl-alt-f8 and get a new xdm screen that they can work with. Is this possible? -Chris On Wed, 16 Apr 1997, joost witteveen wrote: > > - I have Debian 1.2 installed with kernel 2.0.27, when I boot the system, > > the last thing the system do, before asking me for the user and password, > > is start the xdm program.

It means that something that is started as the last item (S99) usually is stopped (Killed) as the first item (K01). Eric Meijer E.L.

Then, if runlevel says "N 4", you're in level 4, and type cd /etc/rc4.d mv S99xdm K99xdm and you're set. So, what's your second problem? -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] #!/bin/perl -sp0777i

Dear Debian users, I have two questions related to XF86 setup and boot options: - I have Debian 1.2 installed with kernel 2.0.27, when I boot the system, the last thing the system do, before asking me for the user and password, is start the xdm program. Then the system change to the seventh tty and change the apperance from text to graphical. I move to the first console using CTRL+ ALT+F1 and entering to a new user I try to start the XF86 using startx the system answers me: Fatal Server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no loger running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server. xinit: No such process (error 3): Server error. I suppose that the solution could be change the boot xdm start but I don't know how to do it. Could anybody advice me ?
