No, cant do that. You need to start your normal xserver on a different display, so you are running two instances.... startx startx -- :1 the '--' is to tell startx to pass anything following it to the xserver. Of course, you'll need to make sure you have '800x600' as a valid mode in your configuration. Mike. -- Michael Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Contentsofsignaturemaysettleduringshipping.
