Open second Virtual terminal
« on: April 08, 2014, 07:29:25 AM »
Hi!

I have configured Xorg 7.7 for one VT. What can I run/modify when I want to run/open second virtual desktop (Xorg).
First virtual desktop/terminal(Xorg) I have on CTRL+ATL+F7 screen. What do I do, when I want second terminal on CTRL+ALT+F8 ?

Hi przemasRat
If you right click on the desktop, don't you get a pop up menu that contains the option  NewDesktop ?

Yes, if I right clik on the desktop i get pop-up menu that contans "New Desktop", but if I create "New Desktop" that way, the new desktop is not a virtual desktop, which i want (new desktop is not under CTLR+ALT+Fx). I want new terminal... :-(.

Copy .xsession to .xsession1
At the top:
export DISPLAY=":1.0"
export DESKTOP=whatever

Adjust the *PID* assignments
Change the xorg to xorg :1
shell the script.

How do I should start this new script (".xsession1") ? I want to start second virtual terminal automatically after TinyCore boot.

Then you need to add it to /home/tc/.profile.
