2.8 Starting Additional X Servers on Demand Using a Display Manager 33
There are two sections in the GDM default configuration file that deal with local X
servers. The first defines the command to be used to start a new server, and it looks
like this:
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X
flexible=true
The name field is for your reference only. The last line enables GDM to start additional
servers on-the-fly when instructed to do so by the gdmflexiserver command
(Section 2.8).
Once it has been defined, the configuration is associated with a display number by a
servers section elsewhere in the file:
[servers]
0=Standard
This will start a single server with a display number of :0. To configure GDM to initially
start additional servers with the same configuration, add a servers section to the
local configuration file:
[servers]
0=Standard
1=Standard
2=Standard
If you wish to use a different configuration for a specific display, you can add a new
configuration section to the local configuration file:
[server-LowRes]
name=Low-Resolution Server
command=/usr/bin/X -config /etc/X11/xorg.
