Hi,

>From vtty? I start 'xdm -nodaemon &'. It comes up on vtty3 (?).
If I then do a 'su' on vtty0 (and others, I assume), I get this:

pid 18088 (XF86_SVGA), uid 0: exited on signal 6

The session is aborted, and the user is placed back in the graphical
login.
Do you know why?

TIA.

Regards,
Are Bryne
