What's the right way to run more than one X server?
There don't seem to be any hooks in the /etc/init.d/*dm
scripts. (I thought maybe there'd be something in
/etc/default/, at least for gdm which IIRC has some
hooks for different configuration settings for different
DISPLAYs.)
I run 2 xservers for two displays/keyboards/mice:

Thanks. That's what I was looking for. I couldn't
figure out how to start 2 servers automatically.
(It's that grody .ini config file format. Is .ini
even documented anywhere?)
Why step 2, make softlinks to the X command?

What if I didn't want to use a *dm? On one DISPLAY
I want to go straight to the *dm of a remote box,
and on the other, the one used for a copy machine,
I don't want to authenticate at all. A *dm seems
a bit overkill, I _could_ just run X and startX
directly. Are there any out-of-the-box solutions
or should I just use inittab?
How would you use startx on monitors other than the first one that has
the console output?
