Hi everybody

i search for a login manager like gdm xdm or others which support:

multiple userlogins like on the Mac OS

and Variable X-servers, mostly i use the Xgl but sometimes i need standart X.

can anyone give me a good solution?

You could always try qingy.

I just started using it, and each user get's their own X Server, or console, or whatever you want.

Best thing is, it's Framebuffer, which makes it look like it's an X Server, but starts up alot faster then an X Server.

As for configuring it to use Xgl or X, I'm not sure, but I'm sure it can be done.

hmm i got qingy now but it doesn't work.
i also got no real error message.
is it a failure in my settings or another thing?

I needed to recompile libsdl and DirectFB with the "fbcon" use flag, then add the modes into my directfbrc (I think that's the name of the file, I'll post mine when I get home from work).

It works really well though.

Oh ya, make sure you read the wiki article as well.
