How do I run multiple X servers on a single display ?

littleman

Last year, I used to have 2 instances of gdm running at startup, one on vc7, and one on vc8 so that I could log in both as root and normal users and switch easily between the 2 X desktops...trouble is...I've forgotten how I did that or where I read the tutorial on how to do it. Can't find it in the forums either. HELP
