Hello, I once ran multiple X server instances in the past, the details of how I got it running elude my memory. Though I do remember that I had to login whenever I went to the second virtual terminal (vt8).
I don't want to do this, what I want to do is run a script which starts X on the next available VT, with a user other than root, and a different X configuration file. In my case, I have three screens running as a single desktop, what I'd like to do is fire up quake via a command and fire it up on VT8 so that I may default to the center screen. My virtual desktop runs at 6144x1152, making it extra difficult and annoying to run a windowed game. While admittedly I have not actually tried any of my options right now, I want to clarify what the "best" way to do this is. I've run into recommendations to use startx, xinit, modify my *dm to handle it, though these suggestions don't seem to handle my need to run these sessions as a non-root user and with a different xorg.conf file. Does anyone have experience doing this, and more importantly, what's the most efficient "debian" way I can approach this problem?
