Package: xserver-svga
Version: 3.3.6-11potato32
Severity: normal
This bug may well be a property of all the xservers, however this is the
one I have access too.
On this machine the command:
X vt14 -query myself -deferglyphs 16 :14 & X vt15 -indirect myself -deferglyphs 16 :15
produces the query on tty15 and the indirect on tty14. Adding a third X
invocation usually causes one of the X to fail to start (without conclusive
output).
The same command-line on my desktop machine (currently running 2.4.2, but was
previously running 2.2.17) - otherwise the same packages, works fine with two X
servers, and usually fine with three.
This is evidently a race condition.
