Subject: startx -- :1
hi,
wanted to start another x session
gave startx -- :1
but this is what happens
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .(II) NVIDIA(0):
Setting mode "1024x768"

Are you using XFree supplied nvidia drivers (module nv) or NVidia
supplied drivers (module nvidia)?
>From experience I can tell you that the nvidia supplied drivers
cause a lot of wierdness when trying to do anything out of the
ordinary, or even in the ordinary (switching to/from text consoles).
They're also very finicky with your chipset.
Also, something to try, if you are using gdm (probably kdm and xdm too)
in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, there is a commented out line in the [servers]
section that reads:
# this second line starts up :1 on vt8
# 1=/usr/bin/X11/X vt8 -nolisten tcp -dpi 100
Uncomment the second line of that.
Also, try taking out the '-nolisten tcp'. I'm not sure its related,
but taking that out allows remote X apps to have access to your X
session (man xhost). Its a slight security risk, but useful.
I hope something of what I said was relevant. Apologies if not.
