How to indecisively start more than one X display on my XP system?


Currently I have a startxwin.bat:
================================
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
......
run XWin -screen 0 1750 1350 -whateverelse
run wmaker


as well as startxwin1.bat:
=========================
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.1
......
run XWin -screen 1 1750 1350 -whateverelse
run wmaker

The problem here is that you are varying the screen number, not the display number. Multiple screens come from one server. Try using DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:1.0 for the second one.

It seems to work OK, at least if you don't try to use multi-window mode for both, even though several things hint that XWin code does not worry much about multiple servers.
