Yes, but you must specify a different display number if you start X two times. The first one is display :0, so the second one can be :1. Example: <switch to console 1> $ startx <X starts on console 7> <switch to console 2> $ startx -- :1 <another X starts on console 8> You can run as many X sessions you want like this, just as long as the /dev/tty?? files (with ?? being a number from 1 to 63) exist for the consoles you want to use. Just remember that every X session uses a lot of memory. Remco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
