Re: Demonstartiong Motif and other software under Linux

Ha! You don't know what's the value of VC's yet, man!
What about opening a *second* X11 server on another VC and have it run
under a Motif environment?
Never tried this, and Marc can probably supply more details (the poor
guy baggered his head on configuring X11), but I think the method
should be simply by writing another config file which tells X11 to use
another VC and run X11 with the name of that config file as an
argument (that way, your usual setup of X11 will continue running
under the usual VC). Or maybe X11 can get this as a command-line
argument? In that case (and if the command-line argument overrides
any such argument in the config file) you can even use the same config
file.
Anyone running X11 should be able to test this (again, the closest
thing I have to a computer is a 15 NIS alarm clock which can snooze :)
Cheers,
(just in case, VC == "Virtual Console", "X11" is the X *server* (!!))
