Xephyr problem with awesome3

Hi, I try to run this nice thing. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Awe … ing_Xephyr

But all I get is a black screen (rc_test.lua is working) and some errors:

╭─[thomas::Heraklit]
╰─[9:36]> Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 1152x720 :1 & DISPLAY=:1.0 awesome -c /home/thomas/.config/awesome/rc_test.lua                                             ~
[1] 3960
E: awesome: main:412: cannot open display

Same problem with awesome 3.3.4-1 and original rc.lua. Any suggestions?

Re: Xephyr problem with awesome3

Xephyr hasn't started yet, when you are running that awesome.

Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 1152x720 :1 & sleep 1 && DISPLAY=:1.0 awesome -c /home/thomas/.config/awesome/rc_test.lua

This should work, try bigger sleep if it doesn't.
