I run multiple X servers (at different bit depths) on different
consoles all the time, and it works great. I have 32 megs, but the
other X server gets totally swapped out.
BTW, if you want to do this, there's a small bug in xinit. If you
start the second server as 'xinit', it'll get started on :1.0, but
$DISPLAY is still set to ':0.0' in .xinitrc. If you start it as 'xinit
-- :1.0', it's ok.
