Automatic Login with two X servers FC5

[Felix Mathais]

Hi all

I am currently building a linux based EPOS (
electronic till) bases on FC5.
I would need to achive to automaticly login and have
two X servers running. one X-server runs the sofware
and the other will hold a panel for configuration.

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

I have tried this, but unfortiunally the second X
server does not automaticly login.
I have tried a timed login, but it does not work,
getting an authentication failure.

To clear it up: the system is a till with no keyboard,
just a touchscreen, so it would need to be all loged
in at startup (boot).

The two x servers need to hold different part of the
sofware. the main runs the application, on the second
x server is a configuration panel, which will; be used
for remote admin via vnc os similar.

I hope this helps.

In that case, why need the second one to auto-login?  You'd log in at
the remote end, if and when you need to.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.

That is the problem. Right noe the first x server
starts, loged in automaticly, then the second x-server
starts with the login screen of gdm. without keyboard
there is no way to login. I tried timed login, but it
does not work.

Felix, it's time to give up the approach you are trying and do it
right. You need to run the VNC X server. I have it running as an
xinetd service. You can customize the screen size and everything.
This is how I set it up on FC4.
===8<---
# default: on
# description: The vnc server serves telnet sessions at the moment; it uses \
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service vnc1592
{
        port            = 5953
        protocol        = tcp
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = nobody
        group           = tty
        server          = /usr/bin/Xvnc
        disable         = no
        server_args     = -inetd -geometry 1592x1140 -depth 24 -query localhost -once 
securitytypes=none -fp unix/:7100
}
===8<---

The sizes I picked allow me to run it in a full size window without
obscuring toolbars or needing to scroll when using a 1600x1200 screen,
for this service. I also have sizes better suited to 1920x1440. I
just pick the port for the size screen I want. It opens its own X
session so there's no need for the complexity you are trying to
establish for remote connections. You MAY be able to do this for both
windows depending on your machine siting and requirements.
