I got some help from another list. For those interested in doing this, a 
second X session can be start from the console in a different resolution by 
using an alternate config file:

   startx -- :1 -bpp 8 -xf86config /etc/X11/X-starcraft

where /etc/X11/X-starcraft is a copy of XF86Config-4 that only has the 
640x480 resolution.
