Hi Michael
Yes, I can confirm that this does work, however for the project Im doing we
wont/cant use Gnome, only X.
So what we need to be able to do, from say runlevel 3, is type xinit and
for it to open the three displays mentioned above.
At the moment I test this in runlevel 3 with "xinit xterm" but
unfortunately all three monitors show the xterm session instead of it
showing in only one monitor, and monitors 2 and 3 being :0.1 and :0.2
Does that make sense ?
