<div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello. I am a moderately experienced Linux user, running Mint 15.<br><br>I want to use Xephyr to make a multiseat setup with one card. I followed a couple tutorials online without understanding anything (just hoping it would work), but it didn't. So, I decided to try to get the most simple thing possible with Xephyr to work and build it up. But I can't even do that!<br>
<br></div><div>I built 1.12 (from X11R7.7) using the instructions here: <a href="http://www.amxl.com/c/single-graphics-card-multi-seat-ubuntu-linux" target="_blank">http://www.amxl.com/c/single-graphics-card-multi-seat-ubuntu-linux</a> <br>

</div><div>In my widows manager, I open a terminal and do:<br><br><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">$ Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 800x600 :0<br>
</blockquote><br><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">Fatal server error:<br>Server is already active for display 0<br> If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock<br>
and start again.<br></blockquote><br></div><div>I expected that, so I go to tty1 and <br><br><blockquote>$ sudo service mdm stop <div>$ export DISPLAY=:0</div><div>$ Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 800x600 :0 </div>
<div><div> Xephyr cannot open host display. Is DISPLAY set?<br></div><div>$ echo $DISPLAY<br> :0 <br></div><div>$ DISPLAY=0 Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 800x600 :0
<br> Xephyr cannot open host display. Is DISPLAY set?<br><br></div></div></blockquote><div><div>Then I did sudo su and tried all those again, still to no avail. I've also tried all this on another computer with Xephyr from the mint repo and building 1.9 as described above.<br>
<br>Okay. I have no idea. How do I get a Xephyr hello world? <br>
<br></div><div>Thanks,<br></div><div> Elliot<br></div></div></div></div>
