Ok, there have been a few posts on this in recent, and I thought I would see if there is any more info out there: Here is what I want to do: init level 5 would run 2 X servers, one on tty07 and one on tty08, each having a different setup (mainly just resolution) on init level 4, I just want one X server, on tty07. (to save on memory) In theory, I should be able to do this by having /etc/X11/xdm-4 contain all config files for xdm with one X server, and /etc/X11/xdm-5 contain all config files for xdm with 2 X servers. /etc/X11/xdm-4/ = standard xdm/kdm configuration /etc/X11/xdm-5/xdm-config: DisplayManager.errorLogFile: /var/log/xdm-5-error.log DisplayManager.pidFile: /var/run/xdm.pid DisplayManager.keyFile: /etc/X11/xdm-5/xdm-keys DisplayManager.servers: /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xservers DisplayManager.accessFile: /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xaccess DisplayManager._0.authorize: true DisplayManager._1.authorize: true ! The following three resources set up display :0 as the console. DisplayManager._0.setup: /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xsetup_0 DisplayManager._0.startup: /etc/X11/xdm-5/GiveConsole DisplayManager._0.reset: /etc/X11/xdm-5/TakeConsole ! The following set up display on :1 also DisplayManager._1.setup: /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xsetup_1 DisplayManager*resources: /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xresources DisplayManager*session: /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xsession DisplayManager*authComplain: false /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xservers: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 :0 tty07 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.hires :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 :1 tty08 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.lowres (the rest of the config files can be links- they are all pretty much the same) Then in /etc/inittab have: x4:4:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/kdm -nodaemon -config /etc/X11/xdm-4/xdm-config \ -resources /etc/X11/xdm-4/Xresources \ -server /etc/X11/xdm-4/Xserver \ -session /etc/X11/xdm-4/Xsession x5:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/kdm -nodaemon -config /etc/X11/xdm-5/xdm-config \ -resources /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xresources \ -server /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xserver \ -session /etc/X11/xdm-5/Xsession Then, assuming those files are configured correctly, all should work: right? Does anyone have any thoughts on this kind of setup? -- Jay Publishing Business Systems 651-634-9217
