+-- KroNiC~BSD [freebsd] [04-09-03 09:36 IST]:
| Is it possible to have more that one X session running on the same
| machine? The problem is if i want to create a remote X connection to my
| linux machine via my Freebsd machine i have to kill the current running
| LOCAL X session first.....then i can "from the freebsd machine" # X
| -query 192.168.0.6
| and get a X session on the linux machine.
| 
| On my Freebsd box, with a local X session , i would like to open a
| terminal ...aterm or xterm and then somehow in that terminal create a X
| session to the linux machine.
| 
| I have tried this but get the following error:
| 
| freeebsd# X -query 192.168.0.62
| 
| Fatal server error:
| Server is already active for display 0
| If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
| and start again.
| 
| 
| When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
| the full server output, not just the last messages.
| Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org
| 
| 
| 
| i assume the error is local because my current running local X session is
| on display 0 .
| 
| is it possible for me to do this as i would like to remotly connect to 3
| machines via X but still have use of my local machine
| 
| 
| Thanks in advance.
