Dear friends, Once again i thank you all of ILUGC members, especially for Abishek.
Yes you are right, the startx command starts the display at screen 1. However, startx is a front end command for xinit. Once i see you replay i try read the man pages of startx command and xinit command. while starting xserver we can give arguments for client and server. To specify the server arguments we have to use double hyphen (--). # xinit -- :1 The above command do the tricks starts the xserver instance at display 1. Thanks & Regards, Raja.C ________________________________ From: Abishek Goda <[email protected]> To: ILUG-C <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, 7 May, 2010 4:37:41 PM Subject: Re: [Ilugc] how to start multiple instances of xserver using xinit command Hi, > I think it is possible to start another xserver instances in anther Display > for example at 1. > I use startx -- :1 to start a display 1.
