[newbie] multiple xsessions
hi all. i would like to know how to start multiple xsessions on diff. vt's. i know there is the command startx --:1 which (should) start another xserver but this produces following error : 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 what am i doing wrong ?...is there an option in x-config files i have to set in order to get this working ? thx in advance... --quay

Re: [newbie] multiple xsessions
quaynow that makes no sense, as what that error is telling you is that display 0 is already being used, and since you correctly specified display 1 then it shouldn't report about the status of display 0 any longer, it should just go ahead and use display 1.

Re: [newbie] multiple xsessions
Try just "xinit -- :1" or "X -- :1" If these work, then there must be something wrong in your startx script. If this is the case, check the way that it passes the arguments when starting the server.
