Edit the config file /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, and find the section like this near the end of the file: [servers] # These are the standard servers. You can add as many you want here # and they will always be started. Each line must start with a unique # number and that will be the display number of that server. Usually just # the 0 server is used. 0=Standard #1=Standard Then, uncomment that second line, so you have 0=Standard 1=Standard and restart GDM. (sudo init 3; sudo init 5) Then, when GDM restarts, you'll have one login screen on (by default) the virtual console on ctrl-alt-f7, and another on ctrl-alt-f8. You may also want to edit some things in /etc/security/console.perms, to share sound card access, etc. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
