Hi

This isn't a problem or anything, I just had an idea about having GDM and XDM running at the same time in different terminals. I use Gnome in the default tty6 ( alt+f7 ) but I was wondering whether I could then have XDM running on tty7 ( alt+f8 ) so that I can use that for a dedicated wine desktop based on XDM.

Any ideas on how I could approach this?

How about edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and change vt7 to vt8

Awesome, cheers Wormo. Adjusted that line to
Code:
 :1 local /usr/bin/X :1 vt8

and it works a charm.
