Yes, just use the shell function (can be defined in your .bashrc
file):
x() {
D=x
for i in `seq 0 4`;do if [ ! -f /tmp/.X${i}-lock ]; then D=$i; break; fi;
done
if [ "${D}" = "x" ]; then
echo "No free virtual terminal"
else
if [ $# -lt 1 ];
then startx -- :${D} -bpp 16 2> ~/.X.err > ~/.X.out &
else startx -- :${D} -bpp $1 2> ~/.X.err > ~/.X.out &
fi;
fi
}
instead of the normal startx call. Default colordepth is 16, you can
override this with passing an argument to this function.
