If you are using kdm, then you need to edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc by adding (or editing if you already have configuration for :1) these lines: [X-:1-Core] # The VT the X-server should run on; auto-assign if zero, don't assign if -1. # Better leave it zero and use ServerVTs. # Default is 0 ServerVT=0 # The command line to start the X-server, without display number and VT spec. # This string is subject to word splitting. # Default is "/usr/bin/X -br" ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -br -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.g ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors-1 Where "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.g" is your xorg.conf for game account, ":1" is number of display (you can switch to it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F8; to switch back to :0 (your primary account) press Ctrl+Alt+F7). In case if your game account (its X server) stop responding (for example, because of driver bug) you always can terminate it by pressing Alt+SysRq+K (this is direct command to the kernel so it will work no matter what if kernel is still alive). If you are using gdm you are need to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. See the documentation (or use google) if you don't know how. In worst case ask me, I try to give an example (I don't use gdm so I will need to write such example from scratch, this is why I can't give it now). Also, you can run X server manually. First switch to text console (for example, press Ctrl+Alt+F1). Then login as game user (make sure to create game user first) and run X server by hand. If you need additional assistance feel free to ask more questions.
