hello,
i have to imitate an old SGI Onyx with a linux machine.
Our applikation needs the DISPLAY:0.0 , DISPLAY:1.0 and DISPLAY:2.0 .
But Xorg 6.9 gives me only DISPLAY:0.0 with 3 Screens (look at my xorg.conf)
at DISPLAY:0.0 it should start my xsession and at the other DISPLAYs a blank X11 waiting for our applikation

how can I force my computer to give me three seperate $DISPLAY?

my config:
GeforceFX 5200 AGP
GeforceFX 5200 PCI
3x iiyama VisionMaster452

Debian Sarge with Xorg 6.9
Nvidia linux 32bit driver version 8178

i managed to start 3 xserver, but they use the virtual consoles 6,7 and 8.
i added in the gdm.conf 2 server, so 3 gdms are startet.

how can i tell them to use the hardware-pipes?
