Re: 2 Xsessions?, 2 graphics cards?
Hi,
Thanks for the help but it does not quite work. I did just what
you said but when I start the second X session it fails. The
output of "startx -- :1 -bpp " is appended below. It looks like
a problem with the first X session locking things up. Could it
be the default security (xauth) stuff?
