[arch-general] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available (v2)
https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-July/026496.htm... The draft still doesn't say how can I launch more than one rootless X server at a time or if it's possible at all. Do I have to have KMS enabled? What if I'm using e.g. proprietary nvidia drivers i.e. no KMS?

You can only launch one rootless X server; i don't know currently why such a limitation, but you can always launch other X server as root. -- Laurent Carlier http://www.archlinux.org

You can add another thing that doesn't work to the list: Running skype (or any other program) as a separate user. It works fine if I use Xwrapper.config to run X as root but without it I see only a grey window. I did look into the manual pages but I didn't see anything that looks like it would make things work. -- Mauro Santos

It seems the problem only affects QT programs, after some googling I have found 2 workarounds[1], it seems either of the following environment variables needs to be set: QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 For now I'll use the first one as it seems to be less "bad". Hope this helps someone else. [1] https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=225&t=121093 -- Mauro Santos

Oh nice, thank you. It fixes the problem running skype in xephyr too. (Grey window) This worked before an update of lib32-qt4, so I'd guess it is a libqt problem and not a X problem.
