You have several possibilities:

- run a separate X server that can be used by another user
 - configure a second XFree86 config file, and turn on and off
   the X server as you would the first.

- run a separate X display that can be used for more programs
 - add a new Display and Monitor section to your existing
   XFree86 config file 

- run an integrated X screen that is part of the same desktop;
  windows can be moved around and between the two monitors.
 - add the new Display and Monitor section, and enable Xinerama.
