Hi, Hoping you can provide some additional hints for me. I'm trying to get XDM to loosely emulate Windows XP Fast User Switching, to the extent that my wife and I can each have a graphical desktop session open concurrently, but switch back and forth. Usually, one of us will be using e-mail & a browser, and the other might need to jump in really quick to check their mail, etc. Not having to close applications is nice for these momentary interruptions.
My hope for XDM is to be able to run one login, say on vt05, and then a second, say on vt06. We would use ctrl+alt+f5 and +f6 to swap back and forth easily. However, I'm not entirely clear how to set this up on 4.0-current. Without my attempted changes for a second X display, XDM works great on vt05. The stock XDM login window appears, and all is well. When I try to setup multiple X displays, though, things don't work. Using the changes detailed below, I can boot just fine but there is no graphical XDM login window. vt05 (ctrl+alt+F5) is black, with a blinking cursor in the upper left; vt06 (ctrl+alt+F6) shows the X cursor, which follows the mouse, but the XDM login screen never appears. It looks like this used to be possible with 3.4 (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20040315100725&mode=expanded), but I can't find where these configs live in the CVS tree to check out the changes. Any pointers to those, or config changes I've missed, would really help me out. Thanks! I've edited /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers to look like the following: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05 :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt06 And have copied Xsetup_0 to Xsetup_1: Xsetup_0: if [ "$DISPLAY" = ":0" -o "$DISPLAY" = ":0.0" ] then xsetroot -solid '#233f64' # xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitO nFail fi Xsetup_1: if [ "$DISPLAY" = ":1" -o "$DISPLAY" = ":1.0" ] then xsetroot -solid '#233f64' # xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitO nFail fi And have added the following to /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config: DisplayManager._1.setup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_1 DisplayManager._1.startup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole DisplayManager._1.reset: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole I have edited /etc/ttys to the following: console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure ttyC0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure ttyC1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure ttyC2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure ttyC3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure ttyC4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure ttyC5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure Dmesg attached.
