Hi,

According to the installation document ( http://www.suckless.org/wiki/wmii/docs/installation ) it should be possible to run wmii on a second display, by invoking the following line:

|  DISPLAY=:1 wmii|

But after a while I get this message:

 wmiiwm: cannot open display

I would like to understand what I am doing wrong, I do not know very much about the way X11 works. My goal is to test wmii separate from my regular desktop, trying to migrate over time. AFAIK it should be possible to switch between them by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7 and Ctrl-Alt-F8 respectively.
I am running wmii 3.1-5 on Ubuntu Feisty)

Thanks,

Erik.
