Start another XServer.

[kpbotbot]

Hi all.

I tried my best on searching for the answer to this question. I couldn't find the right command to start another XServer. Maybe I just don't know how to look for it, or I'm using the wrong keywords

Anyway, what I want to happen is hit CTRL+ALT+F6 (F7 to return to my desktop) and start another XServer to run a full screen game. How do i do that? Is it possible to have multiple instances of X?

By the way, the error says that an instance of x server is already running on display 0 after I have issued this command:

startx

In case you're wondering why this is my solution, it's because scripting is not my type for automatically making an xserver when I click a game, especially if you'd have to do it for all other games :/ So, let's stick to my idea D unless it's impossible, of course.

EDIT: I was able to get a new xserver with xterm in it, but it seems there is no acceleration or some sort >.< OpenLieroX runs at a frame rate of 15 fps or so. Anyone have an idea on how to enable acceleration on openbox?

Dear friend,
it is a simple thing, just go to CRTL ALT F1

Just login

X :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
gnome-session &

then CRTL ALT F8
thats it
