 I am trying to run two instances of X.Org X Server 1.10.4 per node of our 
dual-GPU Red Hat cluster.
 I do this:
 /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/xterm -display :0 -- -nolock -auth 
/g/g0/rcook/.Xauthority-0 :0
 and this:
 /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/xterm -display :1 -- -nolock -auth 
/g/g0/rcook/.Xauthority-1 :1

 And I almost get there -- in fact, it worked once.  But mostly the X server starts but I 
get "invalid MIT-MAGICK-COOKIE" errors which don't show up in the Xorg logfile, 
so I assume I'm very close, just doing something wrong with xauth.

 Can anyone on this list help a poor man out?  Thanks

Ah hell, now it's just working.  How strange.  No doubt as soon as I send this 
it will stop working again.
Never mind!  Thanks.

I frequently add a second X instance on :1 in 1.12.2 and earlier, but start it thus:

        startx -- :1

Could it be the sometimes problem is the order of (/usr/bin/xterm -display) :1 and --, that -- needs to go first?
