|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | The I<flexi server> mechanism allows to run GDM sessions on demand, in a new |
|---|
| 13 | virtual console. The administrator can define multiple server configurations, |
|---|
| 14 | using alternate X servers, or different options, in the B<gdm.conf> file, and |
|---|
| 15 | B<gdmflexiserver> will present you with a menu, where you will be asked to |
|---|
| 16 | choose between those server configurations marked with B<flexible=true>. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | Alternatively, the B<--xnest> option allows you to run a new session in an |
|---|
| 19 | Xnest(1) window. |
