Ronald,
Edit your /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
[servers]
0=/usr/bin/X11/X
1=/usr/bin/X11/X vt08
This works fine with the exception of when doing a shutdown from X. If
you do this, then you will have to fiddle around in both vt7 and vt8
untill it all terminates. Sometimes I've even had to login on vt1
I thought I read about a way to configure X so that it would create
the second VC server by default, and that you could configure it to
use different video parameters (resolution, color depth). However, I
cannot find my notes on how to do this. Anyone? Thanks.
Ron.

I haven't tried this, but you can try editing /etc/X11/prefdm. Find the

Ok. My question then, since you've piqued my curiosity, where does
your second X session start up? :-)

Well, it really WILL put the info onto console #1, or whichever

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that that the "startx -- :1"
works, for me, from a terminal session, i.e. gnome.

I finally figured out the problem: VNC was already using :1 and :2 , which
is why I thought it was failing :-)
Also note that I accidently mis-typed and left the space out of "-- :1" in
my first post - sorry.
Never knew that VNC actually used X in that matter...shoulda known :)
You need a space between the double dashs and the :, e.g.
startx -- :1
Your new X server will be on Control+Alt+F8

Yes, do CTRL+ALT+F* and then hit ALT+F7 which will kick it from text to GUI
mode, but still leave you in that console. Note that sometimes
(unfortunantly) this doesn't work if you're running kdm (and maybe xdm too).

Last time I checked, this worked fine, but I was doing "startx -- :1" -
perhaps the space between the "--" and ":1" is required to make it work?

Howdy,
In SuSE I used to be able to startx in tty1, then use CTRL+ALT+F2 to get to
tty2, then do "startx --:1 to start a _second_ xsession - both running at
the same time.
However in red hat this does not work.
Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to do that in Red Hat 6.2?
