You can start more than one X server, (add an entry to etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
/using :0.1) but I'm not sure how well logins will work. I tried once to
have two X-servers, but it was memory-intensive and messy to use so I didn't
bother ironing out the details. Usually the reason to do this would be to
have a 'true color' and a '8 bit color' screen at the same time. I think
you have to tweak your environment just right, or else give parameters to
every X program telling it which server to use.
