I tried adding the following lines to /etc/inittab: 7:45:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/X :0 vt7 8:45:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/X :1 vt8 but they just activate X sessions (i.e. nothing is visible except the moire pattern shown when X starts up) on VT7 and VT8 - kdm is not activated. I tried again to modify kdmrc to make it work on VT7 and VT8, and managed to get the login screen to appear on both, but on VT8, .xsession-errors shows that when I try to log in, it attempts to run the KDE session on display :0 rather than the expected :1.
