Title: Starting multiple X servers
Post by: prashant112358 on May 20, 2009, 06:05:14 PM
Hi all,


How can I start multiple X servers by logging into same user and using same desktop environment like KDE or GNOME.
Is this possible by editing .xauthority, .xinitrc etc files???
Pls, help urgently.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
