Re: [orca-list] problem using xclip on a regular tty

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

As an aside, if I have several Xorg servers running (cf. my previous message)
the value of $DISPLAY differs among virtual screens for the same user.

For instance from the display bound to tty7 I have $DISPLAY=0 but from
the one bound to tty8 I have $DISPLAY=2 as told by the set or echo
comamnds.
