[gdm-list] Server Section Entries?

["Thomas H. George" <lists tomgeorge info>]

Following Debian Reference 8.6.35.1-3 I have created a directory
/sid-32bit, used debootstrap to populate it with sid i386, modified
inittab to make F8 open a console for the chroot and added "do
s/vt7/vt9" in the [servers] section of gdm.conf.

Problem #1.  Only one display can run at a time.  That is, to run the
chroot display (F8, /etc/init.d/gdm start) I must first stop the main
display (F1, /etc/init.d/gdm stop) so it is not posible to toggle
between the main display (F7) and the chroot display (F9).

I assume the problem is that I have not made the correct entries in the
server section of gdm.conf. I have tried 0=inactive and 1=standard but
neither did the trick.  When I return to the console (F8) there are many
lines as follows:

gdm[20973]: Glib CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_value: assertion 'key_file !=
NULL' failed.
 
Problem #2.  If I have the chroot display running (F9) and toggle to the
chroot console (F8) the display crashes and must be restarted.

Problem #3.  There are some problems with the chroot display.  Iceape
runs and the web is accessable but any attempt to start a terminal
window fails (does nothing) although xterm is installed.
