Hello all,
I have come across this problem when using multiple X displays in redhat
7.3. If my inittab file is set to '3' (ie starting up without X) I can
login and then start up X using the 'startx' command.
I can then CTRL_ALT-F1 and command line login again, and logon to my other
server using the command:
X :1 -indirect server vt8
I can then logon to my chosen broadcasting server and the use CTRL-ALT-F7
and CTRL-ALT-F8 to change between my local X session and the session where
I have logged on to another host respectively.
However, if I set the boottime run level to 5 (ie X starts up at boot)
when I try to do the same thing (CNTRL-ALT-F1) it just brings up a grey
screen when I execute "X :1 -indirect server vt8" and doesn't ever present
a chooser screen. The X error log /varr/log/Xfree:1.log doesn't tell me
anything either, no error messages....
Can someone else try this out on their machine and see. Note that when
booting up in runtime 5 and executing 'startx -- :1 vt8' to start another
X session - does work, but startx can't be used to connect to a
remote server that is broadcasting (am I correct?)
Thanks,
Melinda
