This is, if you have another screen attached to your computer. But
I suppose you want to run another X server. I had to do this with
for to be able to test a program I was develloping under different
conditions. It's possible to add a line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver:
:1 local tty08 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 8 -cc 3
-bpp 8 of course is the depth of color planes, and -cc 3 is the
visual type. As a reminder, I put in mine these comments:
# 0 for StaticGray
# 1 for GrayScale
# 2 for StaticColor
# 3 for PseudoColor
# 4 for TrueColor
# 5 for DirectColor
But actually, It might be a better idea to call this manually
with startx, if you don't need the 2nd X server running all the time.
