N server File
Once you have created the new XF86Config.Nserver file, the last step is to tell X to
use the new layouts it contains, rather than the default server layout. To do so, perform
the following steps:
1. Make a backup copy of the default single-server /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file:
2. Edit the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file to reference each of the new server layouts
you defined in the XF86Config file. To do this, for each server (i.e., each line):
• remove the word "reserve"
• append the option "-novtswitches"
• append a reference to the appropriate XF86Config file.
For example, a 3-server version might look like this:
3. Save the Xservers file and reboot the system.
Note: The procedures in this section only apply when the default session manager (KDE)
is active. To start Xwindows using the default session manager, use the command
init 5.
