If you mention those two, then one obvious alternative should also be mentioned: Xnest (which comes, e.g. with XFree). Xnest is simply an X server that displays on another X server ("nested"). Since you don't need to use any special hardware resource (like a virtual console, in the case of the original X server) you don't need to run it as root. I figure that a command-line like: Xnest :1 will start a new nested X server on the current display to which you will be able to connect by setting the DISPLAY to ":1" . Xray seems to be originally based on Xnest -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
