this is so weird! i don't want to reboot my machine, as i have remote processes writing to its drives right now. how can i either kill this zombie and start up X on console 7, or, failing that, tell X to ignore the zombie and start up on console 6 or 8 or something like that for the time being?
Nori, I'm no expert, but this works for me with gdm to start a 2nd x session on console 8 when launched from console 1-6:
$ DISPLAY=:1 startx -- :1 Good luck!
