If you use xdm, then take a look at /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers - just add a 
line like this:

:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8

So you will get another xdm on virtual terminal 8 (switch to it with
Alt-Ctrl-F8).

If you use startx and i remember correctly, just say "startx -- :1 vt8" and
you will get a new X-session on the virtual terminal 8 (or, without
the "vt8", on the next free virtual terminal).
