Two completely separate distict X sessions and Fluxbox

Hi all, forgive me if this has been beaten to death, I did search for several hours on this, and this is my first ever post on the Archlinux forums, but I've been using Arch for a little over a year now, and LOVE IT.
Back in the day, in the older version of Xorg, I had 2 separate X sessions, one for each external monitor on my Dell D610 laptop.  I had 2 desktops defined in Fluxbox as well.  I could NOT drag from one monitor to the other (which is the way I want it).  I was able to have 2 different backgrounds, one for each monitor.  I had 6 virtual desktops on display 0 (left monitor) and 4 virtual desktops on display 1 (right monitor).  I had/have one monitor plugged into the external VGA port and the other plugged into the external DVI port.
But since upgrading to the newer Xorg and Indel drivers, I have not been able to achieve this.  I have the dual monitorsetup, but it's a single session wich displays across 2 monitors (I can drag windows from one monitor to the other).  I have been using Xrandr to get the dual monitor setup (to get non mirrored).
My question is, is there any way I can get this configuration back, without going back to the older Xorg and Intel driver version?
I now have a Dell D630 with the internal Intel video card.
Thanks,
Don

Hello all, thank you for your answers!
You were right with the multiseat but that it's not what I looked for. I have tried to get two seats with the same hardware, and obviuosly it didn't work (at all).
So I continue reading articles and this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X and this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131419 and finally I realized my problem: I had missing packages.
So, I installed them with
pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm
and then I entered to a terminal pressing CTRL + ALT + F1. I logged in with my user and I typed
startx -- :1 &
and it worked!!!!
I got in vt8 (CTRL + ALT + F8) 3 windows: 2 xterms and 1 clock.
Then I took a terminal and wrote "wine starcraft\ II.exe" and it worked like a charm.
Regards!!!!

  • Creating two completely separate iphoto applications

    I'm really wanting to have two completely separate iphoto applications, one for work and one for personal. Rather than doing this by creating separate albums and folders I'd rather just have one iphoto app for personal and one for work. Is this possible or does anyone know a good workaround?
    Cheers, James

    you do not want two applications - you want two libraries - iPhoto library manager is very useful for that - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/

  • Can you create two completely separate iCalendars with only one iTunes account?

    I'm trying to create a new calendar, but want it to be completely separate from the home ones we have. Is there a way to create a completely separate new iCalendar without having to have a new iTunes account?

    If I'm understanding you correctly... I would say yes...
    Under my same account I have a calendar for "Work", My "Family" and "Personal".

  • How do we create two completely separate address books?

    Under our mailboxes folder, we have created two separate email accounts. How do we create an address book for each email account? (they need to be completely separate from each other)

    This is easy. You can do an export (backup) and import of the address book. So get one you like, export it. Create a new one, export it. Now just import the one you want to work with. Just be sure to export it again before you import the other one, in case you have made changes.
    I do this for separate mailing lists, etc.

  • RV180W and two completely separate networks.

    First off, let me state that I'm not an IT person.  I'm an architect working in a small office that happens to be home to two seperate businesses, each with their owner network.  However, these two networks want to use the same large format printer.  I recently purchased the RV180W since the Cisco representative told me i would be able to connect both networks to the router so they can both see the printer without seeing the files on each of the other networks.  We simply want to share the same printer.
    Network 1:
    192.168.4.1
    Network 2
    192.168.2.1
    Large Format Printer
    192.168.4.151
    Network 1 has the RV180W as it's router with three gigabit switches.  Computers and peripherals are connected to the three switches.  1 port open on the last switch.
    I want to configure the RV180W to see both 192.168.4.1 and 192.168.2.1
    What settings need to be modifed in order to accomplish this?  Do I need more equipment?  Is it easier to put a wireless card in one of the computers on the 192.168.2.1 network and then set it to see the 192.168.4.1 network?
    I read somewhere about VLAN's... whatever they are.
    Again, talk to me like I'm a novice.  I'm not fluent in this field.
    All the best,
    Jay

    Thanks for the update, Jason. As you have two different internet connections, you will need a VPN. A VPN creates an encrypted connection, or tunnel, across the internet between your two routers. Information from one network will then be able to access the other, and vice versa.
    Setting up a VPN has several requirements:
    -Different network subnets at each site - You have already configured this correctly.
    -Public IP addresses on the WAN interface of each router. You can verify this by going to Status>System Summary and looking for the WAN (Internet) Information. If the IPv4 address begins with a 10, 172.16, or 192.168, your proably have a modem/router, and will need to bridge it.
    Depending on your internet service provider or model of modem, you may need to bridge your modem in order for you public IP address to be on the router, and not the modem. Such a configuration is often referred to as bridge or passthrough mode.
    Once these requirements are met, configuring the VPN itself is realitively straightforward. Just login to each router and go to VPN > IPsec > Basic VPN Setup. Here, you will enter a name, password, and the local and public IP addresses of the other router. Thus, you will point each router towards the other.
    Once you verify you have a public IP address on the WAN interface of each router, I would be happy to provide you with specific instructions on how to configure the tunnel. If you run into any issues, you can always call us at 1-866-606-1866. We would be happy to assist you and can even setup a remote support session.

  • Can i have two completely separate backups with Time Machine

    Hi 
    Before i did this i thought it best to ask the question here.
    Basically i have two huge iTunes libraries. One for official music, the other for unofficial stuff. Both of these libraries have their own separate external hard drives.
    For one of the libraries i have Time machine backing it up using a 3rd external hard drive. What i need to do is add a 4th external hard drive to back up the other library using the same Mac and same Time Machine. Can this be done does anybody know? Im on 10.6.8 so quite old but its fine for what i need.
    Many thanks.

    You would have to change the setting in System Preferences/Time Machine as you switched which external drive you were backing up. Creating a clone would be an easier option I think.
    Clone  - Carbon Copy Cloner          (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)

  • Needed: Two completely separate cookies for two firefox windows (or tabs) for the same site in both.

    Hello,
    I have searched and I can not a Firefox (FF) feature or an add-on that alleviates this issue, please let me know if either already exists, thank you in advance for your time.
    Issue: I have had great difficulties in having two FF browser windows logged into different accounts on the same site at the same site.
    For instance, say I have logged into gmail.com in browser window A.
    Then I try to log into different gmail account in browser window B.
    Every time I replicate this scenario with secure sites, problems arise one way or another.
    It seems as though the two cookies are connected in some way, and I wish I had the ability to disconnect the two cookies from two FF browser windows.
    Also, expanding this capability to two FF tabs in a single browser window would be phenomenal.
    Thanks again for your time and please let me know of any suggestions that you have.

    There is an addon that will allow cookies to be self-contained in tabs. It isn't perfect but it works http://www.nektra.com/products/cookiepie-tab-firefox-extension

  • 2 completely separate iTunes folders

    Is there a way to make two completely separate iTunes folders for where I import songs. I want one folder for MP3 that will be put on an iPod and another folder for AIFF/lossless for songs that will be burned to CD. If anyone has any other solutions that would work, let me know. Thanks

    If you only use iTunes to play your music, it makes no difference what folders your music is in. As long as iTunes can find them iTunes is happy.
    Just create playlists or smart playlists if you want to play only songs in a certain format.
    Or, just before you import, choose a new iTunes Music folder location and choose the folder you want. But, again, it doesn't matter to iTunes where the music files are.
    If you are using another playback program in addition to iTunes I might see a need to have separate folders.

  • We have two Ipod Touches in the Home and two Ipads. Right now one of the Ipads has a separate user indentity. Can both Ipods be used to use the same library with different user ids's and different passwords.

    We have two Ipod touches and two Ipads in our home. Right now both Ipods are using the same used id and password to access itunes and sync music. But recently both os us have downloaded the Ibooks segment to our Ipads and now the only way to sync the second Ipad for Ibooks is to use the same used id and password. But the problem is that with our two Ipads in the home, we established two separate used ids and passwords one for each. Is there a way for me to still use the second Ipod touch and the second Ipad with completely separate userids and passwords. In other words to share the music library I have accumulated and yet to sign in each with our separate identities. That way the Ipads can sync and the Ipod touches can sync. Is this possible.

    This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

  • I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

    I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and a separate 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so the 2 libraries are completely separate? Thanks

    You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
    I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
    Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
    You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

  • TS1718 I have purchased two complete albums in the last three weeks, old Bob Seger and new Maroone 5, both have the same issue, only a few songs will play and will skip over the rest of the songs on IPod and on computer????

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

    I had trouble with a iTunes download.  Two songs of an album were not complete.  I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes.  My iTunes now has the complete copies.  The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies.  It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs.  I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync.  Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone.  What's up?  What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
