Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] XFree86



Is there a way to restart X, more specifically reload the config, without
logging out and back in.  In other words, if I am using an XDM to log in,
usually if X dies (or I hit Ctrl-Alt-Bcksp, do a 'kill -1' or in anyway make
X hickup), it goes back to the login screen.  If I want to just have X stop
and restart, but not log me out, is there a way to do that?  I want to be
able to change which Config I am using without logging out, restarting X and
logginf back in.

I have read this is in the works for XFree86 5.0.  Dynamically change color
depth, resolution and rotation on the fly.
