From: David Lee Lambert <davidl@lmert.com> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Possible to run multiple X servers under Fast User Switching? Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 13:31:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <5027B027.8010401@lmert.com> (raw) I've installed Cygwin on a Windows XP system that I only expect to be ever used by less than about five users. I've tried adding "XWin Server.lnk" to the ".../All Users/Start Menu/Programs/Startup" group, but the second user who logs in isn't able to start it because the port for ":0" is already taken. Looking at the "startxwin.exe" manpage, it looks like I could break out the link into per-user shortcuts in each user's Start Menu, passing extra arguments of "-- :1" for the second user, "-- :2" for the third user, etc. Has anyone tried this? Are there any problems I should be aware of for this approach? -- David L.
