Is it possible to install multiple X servers on the same machine so that

I don't see why not, although it'd probably be more common to simply
kill one wm session and start another to save resources. Maybe it's
possible. I don't know if, since you've just one DISPLAY (in theory,
anyhow)
you would configure it.
Hmm, just tested. No can do, because just one DISPLAY. Maybe some
X guru has a solution. GNOME on ttyv1, fluxbox on ttyv2, term on ttyv3
etc., etc.... Would be pretty cool.
This is certainly possible. You need to start X via something other than
startx as you must manually set DISPLAY vars. I have run two X servers on
my machine many times - one running a local desktop environment and the
other running a WM from a remote box over SSH (for no particular reason
other than that it's fun).
I figured there was a way. Most times there is. I was thinking
two Xservers, one monitor. CTL-ALT-F2 is Desktop B, CTL-ALT-F3
is desktop C, etc. How 'bout that?
Of course, I really have no idea *why*, either; but it does at
least sound "fun".
