I managed to launch two X servers at one time, however I'm still far from being successful. My /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf <snip> [servers] 0=Standard 1=Xgl [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 priority=0 [server-Xgl] name=Xgl command=/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer flexible=true chooser=false handled=true priority=0 <snip> When entering default runlevel GDM starts and launches both servers. First one, Standard, has got direct rendering turned on and OpenGL is rendered by fglrx driver. OpenGL apps work fine. On the other hand second server, Xgl, has not got direct rendering, and what is most suspicious, it uses Mesa drivers, which cause Beryl to run at an absolutely unacceptable performance. Why both servers are not rendered using fglrx? Have you got any ideas how to do it? Regards, Jan -- Mail jan at stepien com pl Jabber jano at jabber aster pl GG 1894343 Web http://stepien.com.pl
