"X Power Tools"


To start additional X servers, simply add lines at the bottom of this file:
:1 local /usr/bin/X :1 vt8
:2 local /usr/bin/X :2 vt9
Although it??™s not strictly necessary to specify the VT on these lines, it??™s a good idea,
because then you will confidently know which display is paired with which VT.
If you wish to specify a different configuration file for one of the X servers, you can
add a -config argument to the command:
:3 local /usr/bin/X -config configgile :3 vt10
This must all appear on a single line in the configuration file.
Starting Multiple X Servers Using KDM
If you??™re using KDE 3.4 or higher, the local X server configuration is controlled by
the kdmrc file (/etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc or /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc). In the
[General] section of that file, you can specify a list of local displays to be started by
adding a StaticServers key:
StaticServers=:0,:1,:2
If this line is missing, the default is to start only display :0.
Starting Multiple X Servers Using GDM
GDM is configured using two files; the first specifies default values, which may be
overwritten when GDM is updated, and the second provides local values, which are
never overwritten. The name and location of these files varies; on an Ubuntu system,
the defaults are in /etc/gdm/gdm.
