Killing Another X Server
Hello!
I usually start few Wine games, which have problems with fullscreen and minimizing on a separate X server. This also allows me to run Compiz on the main X, without affecting the performance of the game.
However, when closing the game on the X server, I'm left with the X cursor on a black screen and this X seems to continue to run. How could I terminate it? I'm usingof the X :n, but is there any more "humane" way to do that?Code:kill procid
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm doing likewise whenever I start additional X servers. It's not that inhumane to do this, as the signal you send is "TERM", not "SIGKILL". This is basically a request to the program to finish please. It is not forced.
Therefore you don't have to feel bad about it

Thanks!
Actually it seems that startx does kill the server after the last running application is closed, compared to.Code:X :n
