</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Now I'm not sure on the logic inside the Xserver that is used to
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; search for a free getty. it maybe starts from the current one and
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; counts up. If so, this logic should (IMO) be changed to start
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; searching from 1 that way it would relatively consistently start on
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; vt1 even when restarted from tty2.

</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; have you been successfull with 2 user sessions?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; As in logging out and back in again or with fast user switching?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; The former has worked quite happily for me. Not tested the latter but I
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; expect there to be some quirks.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; err, no, i mean 2 X sessions.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; often i have one KDE session running on vt8 and one for my wife on vt9
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; and sometimes on for my daughter at vt10...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> OK, so fast user switching then.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; the question is, with the prefdm only conflicting with the first getty,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; will several X sessions be possible?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Yeah. They should, in theory at least, start on vt2 and vt3, tho' this
</I>&gt;<i> may depend on the desktop itself. With GDM+Gnome the second session
</I>&gt;<i> starts on tty2, the third on tty3 etc.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> There is a caveat however. If you have switched to tty2 before picking
</I>&gt;<i> the &quot;Login as another user&quot; option, then autovt will have kicked in and
</I>&gt;<i> started a getty there. It then &quot;hogs&quot; tty2 and prevents X from using it.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Of course if I manage to get my idea working, switching to tty2 when in
</I>&gt;<i> graphical.target will actually give you a graphical login prompt anyway,
</I>&gt;<i> so pretty much the same thing as picking the &quot;Login as another user&quot;
</I>&gt;<i> option from within the first graphical session.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Col
</I>
ic...

i do hope we get some kind of vt that will always be tty? i do sometimes 
require that, when getting too much load and OOM'ing...

also, it'd be nice to have as possibility (in the dm) to start a tty session 
instead of a graphical session (as an alternative)


but i guess the important parts are all the other things...
