Cheers, Kevin
can you please give some details on how to run two X-servers at the same time?
You should have a file /etc/kde/kdm/Xservers symbolically linked to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. This file should have one entry defining display :0, which is your current default virtual screen. Add additional lines; I have in mine:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08
The :0 is the original entry. The :1 is one I added for a second display. The "reserve" parameter defines an "on demand" startup; locking a KDE screen will offer to start a new session. If you remove the reserve, then the second display will start with KDM. The "vt08" tells says it will be on virtual terminal 8 (i.e. ctrl-alt-F8). I'm not sure why the second ":1", it was in the example I was given, and just worked. You can define more, i.e. :2 on vt09, etc.
You probably need to restart KDM to get the change noticed.
HTH, --rick
i tried all that what u've written but its not working on my comp.
after starting Xserver(which corresponds to F7) when i did cntl+alt+F8 nothing new happened...it was as if
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08
had no effect.
Any suggestions.
