Sorry, I knew I was not clear on this... When X-Windows is not working, I
can switch between virtual terminals using Alt+[Fnn]. Is it posible,
however, to have more than 1 X-Window login on different terminals? Ie Say
I press Ctrl+Alt+F6, it will come up with and X-Terminal, then I press
Ctrl+Alt+F7, and it comes up wiht another X-Terminal. Or am I limited to
only one virtual X-Terminal?

I hope this is clear now?
