>Description:
It is very convenient to be able to have more than one X server
running in virtual consoles on a machine. I have used that for
years without problem. Unfortunately it stopped working when
the old PCVT changed to wscons.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to start another X server; the screen (and even machine) will
get totally crazy:
# X :1 -query blaha
>Fix:
No idea, but I assume it has something to do with wscons :-)
