[GLLUG] KDE from command line

[Melson, Paul]

I've been lurking on this thread, and I was wondering why you'd want two
X servers displaying on a single console?  What's the advantage to this
versus using the pager/virtual desktop features that most window
managers have?

On my system, CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+ALT+F7 are how I
get between the console that starts my first X session
and the X session itself, respectively.  

When I want a second X session, I hit CTRL+ALT+F2 to
get a second console.  From there I can start my
second X session with the xinit command. If I leave
the second X session, I can get back to it with
CTRL+ALT+F8.

Another thing you might try is starting your second
session as another user.  It can sometimes prevent
resource conflicts.
