$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest xorg-x11-Xnest-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20 so "yum install xorg-x11-Xnest" should install Xnest. The loginscreen ist a bit harder to get: in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf (if you use gdm) you have to change: [xdmcp] Enable=false to [xdmcp] Enable=true and restart gdm or simply reboot Warning: restarting gdm will kill your current session Warning: with xdmcp enabled you will probably want to enable a firewall or everybody in the world will be able to get a loginscreen from your machine Now you can start Xnest with something like $ Xnest :1 -query localhost where :1 ist the display number to use (:1 for the first, :2 for the second, etc.) and -query localhost tells Xnest to ask localhost for a login screen Hope this helps.
