I want a second X server with gdm...

[aidy]

How can i start a second X server on the :1 screen, with along with gdm?
I know startx -- :1 but that gives you a windowmanager and everything too...

Look for this in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf

Code: Select all

[servers]
# These are the standard servers.  You can add as many you want here
# and they will always be started.  Each line must start with a unique
# number and that will be the display number of that server.  Usually just
# the 0 server is used.
0=Standard
#1=Standard
# Note the VTAllocation and FirstVT keys on linux and freebsd.
# Don't add any vt<number> arguments if VTAllocation is on, and set FirstVT to
# be the first vt available that your gettys don't grab (gettys are usually
# dumb and grab even a vt that has already been taken).  Using 7 will work
# pretty much for all linux distributions.  VTAllocation is not currently

I think you have to uncomment the 1=Standard line. Let me know if that works.

Edit: Also, do you know about gdmflexiserver? The --xnest tag is also neat.

Yeah, I asked in the IRC channel and someone told me about gdmflexyserver, I'll stick with that for now...
