From 848dc9b7f3a95f14efd4ea34188cba51965c9f53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:25:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH xinit 2/3] startx: Fix startx picking an already used display number when -nolock is used Currently startx relies on /tmp/.X?-lock being present for automatically picking a free display number. This does not work if -nolock is used when starting the server, or if the server is started with -displayfd as -displayfd implies -nolock. This is becoming a problem now that -displayfd is getting used by display-managers (e.g. gdm), this fixes this by also checking for /tmp/.X11-unix/X?
