Hi all, I have a USB VGA device which is supprted by xserver-xorg-video-sisusb. As it is not always be plugged into my computer(A Debian SID machine). I don't prefer to have a dual-head monitor ServerLayout in my default xorg.conf. Instead I want to start another X server manually so that I could keep my current X session alive. A seperate Xorg.conf was saved in /etc/X11/xorg.conf-sisusb, and then the Xorg is executed by the command: $ sudo Xorg -- -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf-sisusb :1 (The conf file is attached in the email. The session of input device is missed as I don't want it to use my keyboard in the test) I could see the X cursor show on the monitor which is connected to the USB VGA. The X should be running fine, but I lost my current X in the original monitor. The screen is dark. Unless I press "Alt+Ctrl+F7" to switch back. Then it will cause the newly started X be dark. (Should be returned by "Alt+Ctrl+F8") Seem that they shared the same virtual terminal (is it the right way to describe the problem?).The "XFree86 Local Multi-User Howto" suggested a method to solve but require a patched kernel. Any other way to solve the problem? Thanks. (The USB VGA device) http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/avcards/805c/
