I don't really understand what your point is here. Of course running sytem-config-display will require the root password and will write the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11. That's the only xorg.conf the system will use, you don't make a per-user config. >>1GB of memory is more than enough to run two X sessions comfortably. >>You can even configure GDM to start two login windows.

In Gnome you just have to edit the menus (via a right click on the main menu) and enable the "New Login" entry under System Tools. You could also just run gdmflexiserver from the command line. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo
