Hey everyone,
I'm trying to configure my xdm to start two local X servers -
one local login, and one remote. My Xservers file looks like:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 -dpi 100 -query remotehost
I can't see why this shouldn't work - if I only configure xdm to do :0,
and I start :1 by hand from the console, everything works fine.
I *suspect* xdm freaks because two Xservers are simultaneously trying to
mess around with video hardware (the console goes crazy while xdm is
trying to start this configuation). Is there a way I can stagger the
starts by a few extra seconds? I've tried setting
DisplayManager._1.openDelay to something large like 100, thinking:
1) :0 and :1 will start, one will fail.
2) :0 will (perhaps retry and then) finish starting
3) :1 will try 100 seconds later and work fine
But the net result is that :1 is never started.
FWIW, this is Debian testing, SIS513, XF86 4.2.1.1, with the sis driver
and no fbcon.
