you can emulate it by using XDMCP displays: Xorg :1 -query localhost the problem with that is that you need some kind of external manager to actually start (and watch) that X server. you can also make kdm manage an arbitrary display: kdmctl manage :1 again, you need some kind of 3rd party manager for that to work (it's basically an enabler function for something like a SunRay manager). some more info can be found in http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-workspace/kdm/advanced-topics.html#command-sockets the correct long-term solution would be adding support for multi-seat ConsoleKit. i don't know whether the respective patches have finally landed in ConsoleKit (and GDM). one could also add multi-seat config to kdmrc directly, but then the problem of activating these seats remains, which makes the exercise kinda pointless. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
