It is rather easy, at least I hope it is. The attached patch should
allow you to pass any server arguments that you wish to freevo when run
with -fs. eg: (see man startx)
freevo -fs -layout Multihead
To apply the patch do this:
cd $(dirname $(which freevo))
patch -Np0 -i /path/to/patch

I've asked this question before but came to no conclusion..
In the freevo script is:
elif arg == '-fs':
# start X server and run freevo, ignore everything else for now
server_num = 0
while 1:
if not os.path.exists('/tmp/.X11-unix/X' + str(server_num)):
break
server_num += 1
sys.stdin.close()
os.execvp('xinit', [ 'xinit', freevo_script, '-force-fs', '--',
':'+str(server_num) ])
My guess is that you can change the last line to include a server name.
