start new xsession with kdm login from console

[DepurpnijM]

Well hi there!

By using the button "start new x-session" at the kicker-menu I can start a new session where I get to the kdm-login-menu. There I can choose a username. How do I do that from console - not being able to push any button? (Sometimes I'm using fluxbox and want to have a second session in kde but with a different user)

thx

Re: start new xsession with kdm login from console

I think this is a little tricky.

As a start you can try this:

startx -- :1 vt8 –nolisten tcp

You need to run it as super user though, and that is not recommended.

Maybe this hint will lead you to the right solution.

*EDIT* Some nice info
