Well, it doesn't work! If I put anything but this in Xservers it locks
up after booting. I put /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config back to original.
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7
If I add another line with :1 ... :1 vt8 it hangs.
What's strange is if I add the extra line and then restart X

Well, I got it kind of working and did so by the doing the following. I
say sort of because it worked fine before reboot. I set up the files as
shown below and could to a ctl-alt-bkspc and I had three terminals. I
played with this for a while and it always worked. However, when I
rebooted t
Some more research shows multiple ways to set up the Xserver lines
Gentoo: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
Others: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7
More: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 :0
and again :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0
What is correct. Supposedly all I have to do is set them up that way.
However,
Thanks. anyway. It gave me some ideas. I'm trying to remember from years
ago .

I notice that in /etc/X11/xdm there is an Xsetup_0 file which starts
display 0 evidently. Do I have to modify /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config to
include startup entries for displays 1 and 2?

Doing the startx -- :1 works. However, I shouldn't have to do that. On
other distros I've set xdm up so it creates a couple of servers and if I
do type startx it figures out where to put the display if display 0 is in
use.

Yes, there should be an easier way. I run XFCE4, not KDE. Supposedly -
and this has worked on other systems - if I set the XServers file up any
new requests will go to the next available window. Thus startx will use
display :1 when :0 is already in use and do it automatically. In fact on
