(I hope this minor thread hijacking isn't resented too much) I tried that, and every variation returns an error telling me that X is already running, and I should try removing some lock file if I feel that this message was received in error. I don't have any reason to need two X servers, so am really just curious for my own edification. Is there some configuration I need to tweak to allow more than one display? -- Lee Glidewell | PGP key: D5D686A7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
