+-- 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. | -- | KroNiC~BSD | kronic_bsd@fastmail.fm startx -- :1 -- Regards, Shantanu Mahajan
