A]] I tried startx -l:8 for getting XWindows onto tty8 and then Ctrl+Alt+F8 to get there
Result : (1)If the machine has not put up XWindows by default , then it comes on tty7 , which is the default. (2) if XWindows comes up as default , then this shows an error , saying that display is already active on 0. B]] Then I did from another user's shell : startx -l:10 for getting XWindows onto tty9 and then Ctrl+Alt+F9 to get there. Result : this shows an error , saying that display is already active on 0. I remember some member of the list confidently assuring members that you can open XWindows display on more than one virtual terminal . Please help . Urgently ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Shyam
