To start another X session:

can switch between them by using Linux's virtual console sw
hi there,
Is it really straightforward to configure my woody system to allow
multiple X sessions on the same monitor? I'm trying to switch to
gnome for various reasons, but I want to have the security blanket of
moving back to kde really quick if things aren't working.
Thanks l
I'm running 2 X sessions, his and hers ;-), and I've noticed that DRM
can only be enabled for one of them, the one which was started first.
Is this a bug ?

Actually, "startx" will bring up X on the first unused vt.

Greetings,
Is there a way of starting two X sessions with *different* screen sizes
? I can start a second session fine but it uses the same screen size
as the primary. I've tried Ctrl-Alt-[-+] but it only changes the

2) If I am logged in as me and decide that I want to do a bunch of
"sysadm" type stuff, I will frequently

Hi, you have to open another display. Try this:
startx -- /usr/X
to add to my previous msg:
when I try to get back to the first X session with Ctrl-Alt-F1 I get another
error msg:
AUDIT: X: client 11 rejected from local host Auth name MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1
any ideas what does this mean?
thanks in advance
