Second X server

#1 Post by Oblivion »

Hello all.

I stumbled on the following website:

http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiw ... &pageid=48

Which basically explains how to run a second X server so you can run games without the WM in the background.

It said to start the second X server use the command X :1.0. My question is, how do you kill that specific X session? Also, how can I give my user account permission to perform that command? As it is I can only do it as root, and I don't really wanna log in as root just to run games.

Thanks for any help.
