I would still need to separate at least that file out for using 2 different setups with init, however. I remember trying to just add the line in Xservers, but it didnt work. That was a while ago, and I dont remember what else was going on, so I will have to give this a try. Another odd point- I currently have the setup described here except for the dual setup in xdm with init. But for some reason the hires config ends up on tty08 even though I say specifically to put it on tty07 with display :0. Any ideas on that?

Create two configs: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-High /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-Low ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-High /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Then just find the line in your xdm configs that is specifing what displays xdm is managing. /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-High vt7 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-Low vt8 I don't have xdm installed, but with GDM all you would do is edit the [servers] section to look like this: [servers] 0=/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-High vt7 1=/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-Low vt8 If both config files work, it should work just fine. Seems to me like you're doing alot of extra work. XDM should share a common config, even at different resoultions. If something needs to be specific to a display, it's denoted with that display's number. Andrew S.
