gdmdynamic Command Line Options
The gdmdynamic command which creates, runs, and
removes displays (X servers) on demand.
Some environments need the ability to tell GDM to create and manage new
displays on the fly, where it is not possible to list the possible
displays in gdm.conf. The gdmdynamic command can be used to create
a new display on a particular display number, run all newly created
displays, or remove a display. The gdmdynamic command can also be
used to list all attached displays, or only attached displays that
match a pattern.
