Playonlinux start own X server for game

Hello!

Trying to run Guild Wars 2 gives me headaches. Once I'm in game it's playable okayish, but this stupid launcher often crashes my x-server.

Hence I'd like to run it in it's own x server so a crash doesn't concern me as much.

I found this here: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/issue-1060.html

But the xinit command can't be found, so I'm a bit stuck on how to do this the right way. Any ideas?

Post the exact error. Do you have it installed?

Looks like I haven't. I've never needed it. Which package does it belong to? I only ever used startx manually until I switched to sddm.

Thanks!

For

xinit /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "GuildWars2"

I get:

/usr/bin/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
xinit:       after 7 requests (7 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
connection to X server lost

Re: Playonlinux start own X server for game

Are you running this command from a new tty (outside of X)?
Did you read https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-ser … available/ ?

Nope, I assumed it would do this automatically and switch to the second session.
But if I do I get

Server is already active for display 0
