Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2005 2:58 pm Post subject: Two Xservers |
|
|
I run some programs in full screen (games and presentations), and I would like to set a second Xserver so I could easily change from those programs to my normal desktop.
I use:
Gnome for my normal desktop;
Nvidia video card;
Single monitor.
I want:
A script to call the following;
A light second Xserver at VT 8;
A single program running in full screen.
It would be great, but not necessary:
If I could create a script for each one of these programs, to automaticaly load a new Xserver, even if another one is already running (using VT9...);
If I didn't even have to do this, being able "pause" the full screen program, so I could use my desktop and then switch back (not actualy pause, since some conect with the net, but don't show them on screen).
I don't need:
Decoration, beauty, or anything like that, since only the program will be running (full screen).
I'm a bit lost here. Could someone please give me a hand? At least where to look for the information. |

When I am connected to my Gnome, with alt-ctrl-F1 switch back to console and then with the command
| Code: | | xinit /usr/local/bin/nwn $* -- :1 & | I run NeverWinterNights.
Then with ctrl-alt-F7 I return back to Gnome and with ctrl-alt-F1 back to NeverWinterNights.
You can write an executable file in your path with the above command and use it with whatever program you want to run. _________________ rm -rf / |

Thanks. It almost works.
But it's calling the whole gnome before the application. I'll try creating a different session for the applications with a light WM. |

Hmmm, mine doesn't run a single applet of gnome, only the game and thus it runs after two seconds only  _________________ rm -rf / |
