# Is it possible from within X to start another session of X on a
diffent
# console? I know I can just Ctrl-Alt-F2, login, and then startx. Then
I
# could toggle between Ctrl-Alt-F7 and Ctrl-Alt-F8. However, I would
like
# to accomplish the same thing without dropping down to a console. When
I
# try to do this from an xterm, I get a message about not being
authorized
# to run the X server. Root, however, can do it. Any suggestions?
The first X session's display is :0 . You have to tell 'startx' to start
a new X session, on a display other that :0. For instance,
startx -- :1
Would start a second X session, accessible by CTRL+ALT+F8. You can also
embed an X session in a window; 'man Xnest' for more info.
