xdm can do it. Adapting its approach: Go to "Seat configuration" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. Uncomment "[Seat:0]" and after this line put xserver-command=/usr/bin/X :0 vt07 -nolisten -tcp Add [Seat:1] xserver-command=/usr/bin/X :1 vt08 -nolisten -tcp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
