This is very cool. I've always wondered if it was possible. Reading some of these FAQs lead me to the following: Is it possible to have xdm start two separate login sessions at startup? I'm thinking about the following: First, create /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.1 which contains: :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X Then, comment out the DisplayManager.servers setting in xdm.config and set the following in /etc/ttys: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon -server /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers" xterm on secure ttyv9 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon -server /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.1" xterm on secure Anyone know if this is a pipe dream? There are a hundred other questions, like how do you get an xsession to start different WMs or even different configurations of the same WM based on the display? Hmm. Might be getting off topic there. I'd be real interested if anyone has a link to some real detailed how-tos regarding this kind of creative X setup. One day I'm gonna try a dual head setup - but not now (no time or extra monitor :).
