FWIW, the procedure I used for my screencasts was: 1) Install the "openbox" window manager 2) Log out of your desktop, and log back in to an "Openbox Session" from GDM, rather than a full GNOME session 3) Right-click on the desktop and use the menu to launch a terminal 4) Run Xephyr -- this command is a little different to the command from the tutorial page, because the original command was segfaulting for me: Xephyr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev -screen 1280x720x24 -dpi 96 :2 5) Start the nested X session: DISPLAY=:2 /etc/X11/Xsession Thanks Leigh _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
