I occasionally start a second X display from a console login with:

   "xinit -- :1

but after upgrading to F21 it just hangs with an underscore in the
top left of the screen and I have to do a remote log in and kill the
process.  I attach the log but I am not sure if it indicates what the
problem is . .

I'd try to look into the cause of these:

[268529.443] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1440x900@60.0 on VGA1 using
pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none
[268529.449] (EE) intel(0): failed to set mode: Permission denied [13]
[268529.450] (WW) intel(0): failed to restore desired modes on VT switch
[268529.450] (EE) intel(0): sna_mode_check: invalid state found on pipe
0, disabling CRTC:7

The "permission denied" piece smells bad... :-)


It appears that the process is waiting for the other X process to terminate - I think it might have something to do with F21 now running X as rootless and maybe Kernel Mode Setting? I found that the following now works (and does what I want - where it didn't before):

  startx -- :1

Phil.
