Multiple xdm's are easy. Here is an excerpt from my
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -bpp 8 :0.0
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt8 -bpp 32 :1.0
This gives me two xdm logins, one with 256 colors on virtual console 7
and another with 16M colors on virtual console 8. The obvious disadvantage
with this approach is that every running X server needs some MB of
RAM, but I can pay the price.
