Hi, On my local machines when one user is using the machine I can go to a terminal using Alt-Ctrl-Fx and then after logging in do 'startx -- :2'. At this point I get a second copy of X running on F8 and I can use the system while the other user's account remains logged on.
How do I do this for a remote machine? Assume that I do ssh -X -Y -C -c blowfish -l mark IP-address I'm now logged on successfully to a remote machine. I can run X apps and display them here successfully. Let's say that I wanted to run Gnome on the machine at the other end but see it displayed here on display #2. How can I do that? If I do the same startx -- :2 it creates a second display at the far end. I'd like to pipe that to a second display here but I haven't grasped how to do that. I know it will be slow but there are reasons I need to use it occasionally. I figure it won't be any worse (I hope) than running tight-vnc. Thanks in advance, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
