Totally agree, but this only was explained in the lightspeed way for an user with RH that needs to connect to Solaris servers using gdmchooser, and by default in this distro :0 is F7, :1 F8... Is more like '...and if you don't know how X sessions works read how-tos but by now, you can begin knowing that with your default RH if you have some X sessions you can work with them knowing this equivalence..." May be not very well explained but some times we haven't the necessary time to give information without saying only RTFM :(, and some times ( for my experience ) any litlle info to begin is very appreciated ;) Regards D. What is said there (or rather, what is implied) is just not true... there is no correlation between the display number and the virtual console that is used by the X server. The fact that virtual console 7 is used by X for the first default display is purely "accidental"... you could "startx -- :5" and then DISPLAY=:5 would be running on Alt-Ctrl-F7. Or you could add switches to pass to the X server so that it will run on any virtual console that you liked.
