Two X servers, one box

2012-07-03 Thread Cook, Rich
Hi, 
I am trying to run two instances of X.Org X Server 1.10.4 per node of our 
dual-GPU Red Hat cluster. 
I do this: 
/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/xterm -display :0 -- -nolock -auth 
/g/g0/rcook/.Xauthority-0 :0
and this: 
/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/xterm -display :1 -- -nolock -auth 
/g/g0/rcook/.Xauthority-1 :1

And I almost get there -- in fact, it worked once.  But mostly the X server 
starts but I get invalid MIT-MAGICK-COOKIE errors which don't show up in the 
Xorg logfile, so I assume I'm very close, just doing something wrong with 
xauth. 

Can anyone on this list help a poor man out?  Thanks

any reason why X server per app?

What I'm trying to do is run a single visualization application per X server to 
enable distributed rendering of some very large scientific datasets.  Each 
application uses the hardware to render its piece then composits it with the 
other programs on the cluster via TCP/IP.  
So basically instead of xterm below there will be 
//usr/local/tools/ensight-92/bin/ensight92.client -some fancy -args

Ah hell, now it's just working.  How strange.  No doubt as soon as I send this 
it will stop working again. 
Never mind!  Thanks.
