How to run multiple X display servers?

["Richardson,Anthony" <ARichard@stark.cc.oh.us>]

I'm working thru some of the exercises in the book "A Practical Guide to   
Linux".
In the GUI chapter the author mentions that you can start multiple X   
servers in
different blank virtual consoles.  I thought this would be neat and   
thought I'd try it.
When I do "startx -- :1.0 &" the server starts, but the clients complain   
about
not having authorization to connect to the server.

I played around with xauth to add an entry to the .Xauthority file and   
got
everything to work.  The xauth man page mentions that entries in the
.Xauthority file are normally created by xdm, so I don't believe the way   
I got
things to work is proper.  (Something seemed strange about the way I just
typed in a long, random, hex number.)  Would someone please provide   
provide
enlightenment as to the correct procedure or point me to appropriate
documentation?

Thanks,
Tony Richardson
