Ok.  Either something in the world of X has changed w/o me realizing it
(probably), or I'm having a d.s. attack and can't remember the syntax
correctly.

Let's say I have X all configured and what not, and am logged in just
fine.  Then I want to do some thing else in a different X session, for
what ever reason.  So I do a 'Ctrl+Alt+F1' to go to the first virtual
console, log in, and then type 'startx : --1' which *should* IIRC open a
second X session (#1) on virtual console #8, vs the previous X session
(#0) on tty 7.

What I get is:

[monte@DEMANDRED monte]$ startx : --1


Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and try again



WTF?  I'm already running a session on display 0 (tty 7), so I don't
think I want to go deleting /tmp/.X0-lock, but whats going on here?


TIA,

Monte

All right, breaks over.  Back on your heads!!
