Here you start Xnee and give it a new listening socket address (since you specify ":1"). > works fine. > > But I did't success with "-geometry" -parameter. > Command: "history|grep geometry|wc" shows that I tried > 47 different combination. For example: > > DISPLAY=:1;Xnest -geometry 1024x768+0+0 -display :1 If I am not totally wrong, I think You start Xnest the wrong way here I think. Here you try to to start Xnest on display :1 (do you have a server there?) and give it listening socket address :0 (which is default). I think you want to do: Xnest -geometry 1024x768+0+0 :1 "-display arg" or "DISPLAY=arg" says to Xnest to use that Server instead of the default (typically :0). X and Xnest can sometimes be confusing :) Read the USAGE section of the Xnest manual. Or try the gdmXnestchooser (se below). > Fatal server error: > Server is already active for display 0 > If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock > and start again. It says here that you are trying to start Xnest on :0 where your current Xserver is running.... Try to start XNest using new socket connections (by saying :1). > I had to kill Xnest several times, because Ctrl+c did'nt work. > I think that there is something wrong in Xnest and so do > manual page for Xnee too: > > "BUGS > Won't run well on servers supporting different visual depths. > Still > crashes randomly. Probably has some memory leaks." That may be the case elasewhre, but not in your case I think. To get your tests started /which is what we want) please try the following (600x400 resolution, which may of course be changed) gdmXnestchooser --xnest="Xnest -geometry 600x400+0+0 :1" Allthough I think that gdmXnestchooser may solve the titlebar problem you talk in another email, but please continue reading there as well :) Allthough Xephyr and Xnest are very powerful but they can be confusing. I am here if you want more help with them :) /hesa _______________________________________________ Xnee-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/xnee-devel
