To switch WM I symlink .xinitrc to the version I want, and then do a startx from the command line. I guess this approach can be extended to symlink WM (and other) config files to different configurations depending on the value of $DISPLAY. BTW, an alternativ way to start up an xsession on screen N using terminal xx is: startx -- :N vtxx Personally I don't see much use in starting several WMs at the same time, but it comes in handy when having to deal with "FreeBSD is not ready for the desktop"-people. Can you do this on windows? :-) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Test the variable $DISPLAY or $display (not sure) in your .xsession; it is a shell script, after all. Not sure .xinitrc is a shell script, but it may be. If so, that stuff will work there too. -- Josh ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Reading some of these FAQs lead me to the following: Is it possible to have xdm start two separate login sessions at startup? I'm thinking about the following: First, create /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.1 which contains: :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X Then, comment out the DisplayManager.servers setting in xdm.config and set the following in /etc/ttys: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon -server /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers" xterm on secure ttyv9 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon -server /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.1" xterm on secure Anyone know if this is a pipe dream? There are a hundred other questions, like how do you get an xsession to start different WMs or even different configurations of the same WM based on the display? Hmm. Might be getting off topic there. I'd be real interested if anyone has a link to some real detailed how-tos regarding this kind of creative X setup. One day I'm gonna try a dual head setup - but not now (no time or extra monitor :).

From the console, type: display=:1 startx This will open up an X session on F10 (you can switch back to the old one with CTRL+ALT+F9). -- Adam McLaurin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Two X sessions on one machine???
Is it possible to have more that one X session running on the same machine? The problem is if i want to create a remote X connection to my linux machine via my Freebsd machine i have to kill the current running LOCAL X session first.then i can "from the freebsd machine" # X -query 192.168.0.6 and get a X session on the linux machine. On my Freebsd box, with a local X session , i would like to open a terminal ...aterm or xterm and then somehow in that terminal create a X session to the linux machine. I have tried this but get the following error: freeebsd# X -query 192.168.0.62 Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i assume the error is local because my current running local X session is on display 0 . is it possible for me to do this as i would like to remotly connect to 3 machines via X but still have use of my local machine Thanks in advance. -- KroNiC~BSD [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
