Re: [gdm-list] Multiseat: gdmgreeter does not start on the first server

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Paul:

What version of GDM are you using?  Run
"gdmflexiserver --command=VERSION" or "gdmflexiserver --version" to
find out.  If using GDM 2.21 or later, please note that it does not
support multi-displays.

The above link doesn't work for me.  I get a "404 Not Found" error.  It
would be helpful to review the GDM-related syslog messages to determine
the problem.

One issue may be that you define both servers to have "flexible=true".
The "flexible=true" is only meaningful on displays which support VT.
Since you seem to be disabling VT on the X command line, I'd think
you would want this to be false.  Not sure if this is the problem,
though.
