Do you really want that? This requires that you start an X server for
every console. It is much less memory consuming and much faster to
take a window manager that knows about multiple virtual desktops like
fvwm.

Simply add a line for each to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers . You might also want
to add a parameter that tells each server which console it must run at.
Also, rou can specify a different color depth for each server, like this:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt9 :0 -bpp 16
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt10 :1 -bpp 8
This runs an X server at console 9 with 16-bit color depth and one at
console 10 with 8-bit color depth.
