I could see the X cursor show on the monitor which is connected to
the USB VGA. The X should be running fine, but I lost my current X
in the original monitor. The screen is dark. Unless I press
"Alt+Ctrl+F7" to switch back. Then it will cause the newly started X
be dark. (Should be returned by "Alt+Ctrl+F8")
Seem that they shared the same virtual terminal (is it the right way
to describe the problem?).The "XFree86 Local Multi-User Howto"
suggested a method to solve but require a patched kernel. Any other
way to solve the problem?
I always run two X sessions (one for myself and one for my wife) in
seperate virtual terminals, but on a single physical monitor. I add the
virtual terminal to the end of the startx command, as in:
startx -- :0 vt07
I suspect that you could do the same thing with the xorg command:
Xorg -- -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf-sisusb :1 vt07
BTW, do you really want to be running X as root?
