I asked about this some time ago, and got the response that it wasn't<br>possible. (X locks up when I try; you didn't say what happens to you,<br>so I'd be interested to know if it's any different.)<br><br>What I do instead is run two separate instances of X, and use a

<br><br> startx -- :1 -layout AlternateLayout<br><br>I actually have this automated in a script that will switch between<br>the two setups via a remote keypress detected by LIRC.<br></blockquote></div><br>Dan -<br><br>Can you publish (or send via private email) the
xorg.conf that allows you to do that? I was thinking of trying this configuration, and it's encouraging to know that somebody else already has it working.<br><br><br>
