Is there a way to prevent VT switching for XFree86 ? I have two gfx cards and want to start an X server on the secondary card, while leaving the VTs on the primary card active. So I need XFree86 not to allocate and cause a switch to a new VT. Since I know of no way to make XFree86 do that, I wonder if I can give XFree86 some fake vt on its command line, like : X :0 vt_dummy Is this possible with a 2.6.x series kernel ? Any other way to prevent X taking away "focus" from the primary card ? ( please ignore any possible issues with the keyboard, that may arise when having X and text VT active at the same time ) Regards, David Balazic - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
