I was reading some posts from an article and found this to very cool so I thought I would share this with everyone. Most everyone knows the startx -- :1 from a shell. The only problem is you had to go to a shell to start it. This person posted how to fix this so you can ctrl+alt+f7 to ctrl+alt+f8 and get a gdm login prompt in f8. That's if you want multiple graphical logins. All you have to do is edit the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf. In the [servers] section look for a line which says 0=Standard vt7 add 1=Standard vt8 and if you want another you can add 2=Standard vt9 you could probally go up to six.
What I did was exited my login and got to the gdm login screen. Started up a virtual term as root and killed gdm and restarted it. I then hit ctrl+alt+f7 to ctrl+alt+f8 and I got a gdm login screen on both. So if you have multiple user you can use this. I have two gdm login screens now. I do have one problem though. GDM only has Gnome and KDE and I have all the other window managers installed. I would like them to show up in GDM. I'm running Debian 3.0. Does Debian just assume your running KDE or Gnome. I would figure all the managers would be include in the menu. Any help for this would be apreciated.
