$xhost + localhost [while you are still a normal user] $su - [give password] #application [whatever GUI based app you start, shall appear] Was this what you were looking for? Rohit PS - if not, then try this. login from console : startx [if not already running] You have your own X on control-alt-F7 Login again from one of the free consoles alt+F1 to alt+F6 this time do a #startx -- :1 and find it on control+alt+f8 Switch between you Xs by giving control+alt+F7 or 8. Was this what you wanted? ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
