[Solved] Running 0 A.D. in another XOrg server

Twinsen · 2013-10-20 11:36:57

Hello, everyone.
I installed 0 A.D. in my system, and I would like to run it on a separated XOrg server. So, I created this script for this purpose:

#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:1.0
xinit /usr/bin/0ad $* -- :1

When running this script on tty2, it works, but so much strange. The game runs, but with most of it dark: I cannot see the menu, images, map, characters, only text, the mouse pointer and a few more things.

I tried configuring my XOrg on display 1, running this:

[mateusfelipe@ArchLinux ~]$ sudo Xorg :1 -configure

As you see, it does not work. What can I do to properly run 0 A.D. on another XOrg server?
Thanks.

You shouldn't set the DISPLAY variable like that, Xorg handles that.

Just use `xinit 0ad $* -- :1`. you may want to set the vt if you want to be able to run this from a currently running session: `xinit 0ad $* -- :1 vt2`

Trilby: Thank you. When I added vt2 it worked fine. But what did I do? I don't know much about X11.

See `man Xorg`, it's the first option listed.

EDIT: I suppose what may not be immediately clear is that xinit or startx pass everything on the command line after the double dash "--" on as command line parameters to Xorg. These parameters can set, among other things, which tty or vt the new session should run in.
