It is much less memory consuming and much faster to take a window manager that knows about multiple virtual desktops like fvwm. > How to configure the system (or what do i need to know for that case) to > bring up a xdm/kdm login on every terminal except the first? Simply add a line for each to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers . You might also want to add a parameter that tells each server which console it must run at. Also, rou can specify a different color depth for each server, like this: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt9 :0 -bpp 16 :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt10 :1 -bpp 8 This runs an X server at console 9 with 16-bit color depth and one at console 10 with 8-bit color depth.
