how can I start an other xserver on a different terminal so that I have two xservers running at the same time.

Question

In reference to the question Alt+tab out of full screen game

With the answer:

Start an other xserver on a different terminal. say tty8. Then switch between them when running the game in full screen mode.

I would like to do this when playing HoN.

Answer 1

First drop a terminal via ctrl+alt+f1 and then use:

startx -- :1

To switch between the sessions use ctrl+alt+f7, ctrl+alt+f8 Btw, this is starting an other X session, not Xserver.
