Ray Strode also said: "You can't shut down an X server unless<br>
it's in the foreground.". I can remember having done that<br>
without problems just yesterday when working on systemd socket<br>
activation for the xserver. I've just tried and I can happily<br>
kill (normal kill not -9) Xorg :1 running on vt2 while I'm<br>
inside a terminal on Xorg :0 running on vt1:<br>

I don't think that works in all cases, but I can't be more specific,<br>
because it's vague in my head so others would have to chime in.<br>

It may be a kms versus non kms driver thing. All I can say is that it works<br>
for me with xserver 1.14.99 and intel kms driver.<div class="im"><br>

Another issue, is X jumps back to the VT it was started on when it exits<br>

<br></div>
It does not do that for me. I agree that YMMV, but it seems to work<br>
as we want.<div class="im"><br>
<br>

but I think we can work around that behavior by making sure the X server<br>
acts as if it was started with -novtswitch or so.<br>
<br>
I started working on wayland integration a couple of months ago, but put it<br>
to the side when I got side tracked by other projects. That's here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/log/?h=wip/wayland" target="_blank">https://git.gnome.org/browse/<u></u>gdm/log/?h=wip/wayland</a><br>
<br>
On that branch (which isn't ready for prime time yet) you can put:<br>
<br>
X-GDM-NeedsVT=true<br>
<br>
in the xsession file for the session then gdm will allocate<br>
a VT and jump to that VT before running the session. If the X server is<br>
activated implicitly by the session trying to connect to the socket in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR,<br>
then things should "just work" without GDM managing the display at all. GDM won't try<br>
to reuse the greeter's X server or start a new X server explicitly if X-GDM-NeedsVT=true.<br>
<br>
The branch is still in progress and I don't exactly remember what state it's in/what bugs<br>
it has, but I'm planning on picking it back up next week. after I finish up this<br>
RHEL work, I'll play with the idea then and report back (unless you get to it first).<br>

Cool, I'll focus on the xserver side of things now (*). I've the feeling adding support<br>
for this to gdm will be much easier for you then for me :)<br>

<br>
*) Assuming I can get the xserver to run under an existing session using startx from<br>
a text console login or some such<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
