Here is the OpenBSD 3.7 content of /etc/X11/*xdm*/Xservers which states that additional entries can only be added on a per display, not per screen basis. Of course this may not be correct. /etc/X11/xdm}cat Xservers # $Xorg: Xserv.ws.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $ # # Xservers file, workstation prototype # # This file should contain an entry to start the server on the # local display; if you have more than one display (not screen), # you can add entries to the list (one per line). If you also # have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP, # you can add them here as well. Each X terminal line should # look like: # XTerminalName:0 foreign # :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05 /etc/X11/xdm}
