I have a slightly different question. I have x/xdm running fine on vt7 on bootup. However, I'd like to be able to start a second X session on vt8, so that, if I am logged into X on vt7 and have locked the screen with xlock, other people can hit cntrl-alt-f8 and get a new xdm screen that they can work with. Is this possible?
