Well that works... Sort of (it's REALLY slow now). How do I get Xephyr to run in a separate vt so that I can switch with Ctrl+Alt+F7/8/9?

Ah, I think I know what the problem is. I did some reading today, and vanilla Xephyr only supports software rendering of OpenGL. A forked version exists which supports hardware accelerated 3D rendering. You would need to compile it from the source which is available here:gitorious.org/xephyr-with-gl-acceleration/…: Regarding switching VT, Xephyr is specifically a nested xserver solution, so it has to be inside of another instance of X.

Ah. I see. Then that's not really what I want. Thanks for trying though.
