automatic login for second X server

[Andrej v. d. Z. <ma...@ya...>]

Hi,

First of all I am very pleased with the ruby patch! My girlfriend can 
look anime with freevo (well, she is Japanese) while I am playing around 
on my Debian box. Great!

There is one thing I didn't get to work yet. I configured gdm in such a 
way that the first X server is started on my CRT and the second on my 
TV. Now I want to automatically login for the second X server (no 
keyboard). Unfortunately, options in gdm only allow this for the first X 
server. Automatically login for both X servers would also be fine for me.

Does anybody have a solution? Maybe get rid of gdm totally and start X 
from a startup script? Any suggestions?

Thanks alot!

Andrej
