OK, so fast user switching then. > the question is, with the prefdm only conflicting with the first getty, will > several X sessions be possible? Yeah. They should, in theory at least, start on vt2 and vt3, tho' this may depend on the desktop itself. With GDM+Gnome the second session starts on tty2, the third on tty3 etc. There is a caveat however. If you have switched to tty2 before picking the "Login as another user" option, then autovt will have kicked in and started a getty there. It then "hogs" tty2 and prevents X from using it. Of course if I manage to get my idea working, switching to tty2 when in graphical.target will actually give you a graphical login prompt anyway, so pretty much the same thing as picking the "Login as another user" option from within the first graphical session.
