I run multiple X servers (at different bit depths) on different consoles all the time, and it works great. I have 32 megs, but the other X server gets totally swapped out. BTW, if you want to do this, there's a small bug in xinit. If you start the second server as 'xinit', it'll get started on :1.0, but $DISPLAY is still set to ':0.0' in .xinitrc. If you start it as 'xinit -- :1.0', it's ok. Guy
