I see. Should I interpret this as meaning that my currently running
primary X server has somehow "locked" the Intel GPU without using it,
leaving the second X server incapable of using it? In that case, I think
I'll have to wait for a more opportune moment to restart my primary X
session in order to be able to test that.
If I may ask, though; what does that kind of locking mean? In just what
way is the Intel device "reserved" even though it's not actually used?
Thanks for your answer!
