X with different config file?
Hello all,
I have been searching around without any success yet. I am wondering if it's possible to specify the config file to be used when starting X with the command startx. My scenario is as follows. I have one server running on display :0 with the standard config file in the standard location. I want to be able to, from the console, start another server on display :1 with a different config file. I know that Code:
startx -- :1 Is this possible? BTW, I am using slackware current. |
After some snooping, yes, I'm sure you can do it. The argument you're looking for is -xf86config
You would use it something like: Code:
$ startx -- -xf86config <config file> :1 |
I just tried that with the new config file in my home directory. It kills the current X server and fails to start the new one.
I guess I'll keep looking. |
ok...you are right, it _should_ work. The error that popped up was related to something about kde. I'll look more closely at it later.
