Does anyone know if it's possible to have an X server (XFree86) being active even when its VT isn't active?
just curious Dolda, did you ever answer this one?
Maybe you could hack the startx script to start one up on X: 0 and X: 1, ect.

If I answered this one...? Did you mean if I got an answer? If so, no.

Now that's not really what I was looking for. If I just start two X servers, only the one whose vt is active will be using its card. The thing is that I've got two vid cards, and I want them to be controlled by two different X servers (not using screen numbers). I would just set null input devs on the "passive" one, but I want it to be active even though the "active" one's vt is active. Like that I can just use the "passive" one to display status info and so.
this sounds like a source diving project. Or ask XFree developers, they might know more.
I was thinking of doing that, but every time you want to join a mailing list, there's so much work to do. It takes surely a minute, at least.
One whole minute :o!!!!!
It must take you 15 minutes for each dissertation you write on here!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:

heh ;-)
Oh now, let's not be that way. =)
but at least you can type Dolda, imagine one of your essay's if I was typing it!
