Re: Multiple X sessions
Darian,
Did you look at the right place? I'm in tty6 and run the command. I have
to look for the X session in tty8. Not very beautiful, but it works.
What I'd *really* like would be to find X running in tty7 and tty8 after
a boot.
Regards
Gustav

I must be doing something wrong because I cannot get multiple sessions running
with the command up top there. I startx normally then hit ctrl-alt-f2 to login
again, then type startx -- :1 and my system locks up tight. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Run:
startx -- :1
where 1 can actually be any number other than whatever's already
running. :) The following function may suffice for you, if placed in your
.bashrc file.
x ()
{
case $(tty|head --bytes 8|tail --bytes 3) in
tty)
startx -- :$(tty|head --bytes 11|tail --bytes 2)
;;
pts)
echo "You can't run this from inside X Windows!"
;;
esac
}

Multiple X sessions
Hi, Is there any way I can run multiple X sessions in one box. I'd like to run X as myself on tty7 and run X as a different user in for instance tty8.
