Hi, I have searched some on google and on xfree86.org but I can't find any usefull information about this mater. Honestly I haven't searched that mutch but I haven't found something usefull yet. I want to be able to have multitiple xdm loginscreens on the same workstation using only one monitor and so on. I wounder if this is the right file to edit in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers The only line that is in there is ":0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X" I have tried to add ":1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X" but xdm does not seem to like it. It wound "behave" that I want it to. First i started xdm and then i just crashed after a few seconds. And then I tryed to start It again and the it started but I did not get multitple xdm login screens on ALT-F9... ALT-F10. And I didn't even get a login prompt if you understand what I mean only a the standar gray and black backgrund with a login screen. Perhaps I haven't searched thurly enought but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction of do this. One thing that I perhaps should mention is that im using a Geforce 3 Ti 200 with the nvidia drv and it seems to be quite unstable on my system. So sometimes the computer crashes and I have to reboot it to get it working. Sometimes I can just ssh from an other box and kill and restart xdm. And some times I can't even ping my workstation and are forced to do a hard reboot. That is however out of subject and I should write it in a new mail. It might perhaps be so that I have to do some config changes in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config but I don't think thats necessery or am I wrong? Anyway thanks for reading and perhaps replying to this mail :) Mvh Mattias Björk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
