To whom it may concern!
Working on unrelated to IT job I suddenly seen "the light".
In our regular OS configuration we have at our disposal tty's to
register a small family.
Now, if more than one of those invokes "startx" the system complains.
Is it possible to direct X-windows to more than one display compartment
depending on who called it?.

NO, I havn't RTMF'ed or Googled.

Just curious

That would probably be possible, but it is even easier to make it depend
upon which virtual console they started X from:

alias startx startx -- :`tty | colrm 1 8`

Please note that the ticks should point from up-left to down-right.

Sorry about misspelled "holy word".

Tried your suggestions, it works, just Netscape refused to work under
two masters, logged on two tty's as the same user.
OK will have to make myself a mirror reflection for those games.

Thanks anyway.

And who said that RTFM is the name of the game?

Having fun
