Package: xbase-clients Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Followup-For: Bug #270887 If you try to invoke X like this:
$ startx -- -screen "Some Screen"
or
$ startx -- -layout "Some Layout"
where "Some Screen" and "Some Layout" are IDs of some screen or layout
as defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf,
it will fail, due to the way that startx processes arguments.
The previous poster attached a patch that could be trivially extended to
cover the code that parses server arguments in 'startx'.
Nevertheless, if the default names at /etc/X11/xorg.conf where more like
default_screen, or default_layout (no spaces), at least the server
related section of the bug would be alleviated, and, for that matter, the
incantation would be easier to type.
[eight years using debian and this is my first bug report, shame on me!]
Thanks for the hard work, guys.
