I used to do that for a multiseat setup but I did it with gdm and adding 
a second server:

...
<snip>
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X1 :0 -layout X1 -dpi 110 -isolateDevice PCI:1:0:0 vt7
flexible=true

# Definition of the second X server.
[server-2nd]
name=2nd server
command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -isolateDevice PCI:0:8:0 vt51
flexible=true
...

Where X0 and X1 were softlinks to X.
