I used to run X multiple times -- but not xdm. If I tried running xdm on multiple different TTY's, the system would hang, for an unknown reason. If, however, person A logged in and said "xinit" and person B logged in and said "xinit -- :1", life was wonderful. I guess I just got lucky with the mouse. Can't say that I know why it worked, just that it did and I was happy. "his" and "hers" X sessions. =) Bill
