if you REALLY want automatic startx consider this:

in /etc/inittab

2:23:respawn:/bin/login -f user2 </dev/tty2 >/dev/tty2 2>&1
3:23:respawn:/bin/login -f user3 </dev/tty3 >/dev/tty3 2>&1
4:23:respawn:/bin/login -f user4 </dev/tty4 >/dev/tty4 2>&1

(which must _replace_ the 2:... 3:... and 4:... lines in /etc/inittab)

and then 

at the end of ~user2/.bash_profile
[ `tty` = /dev/tty2 ] && exec startx -- :0 vt07

at the end of ~user3/.bash_profile
[ `tty` = /dev/tty3 ] && exec startx -- :1 vt08

at the end of ~user4/.bash_profile
[ `tty` = /dev/tty4 ] && exec startx -- :2 vt09

But you should also carefully consider: is it a really good idea to have
one (or more) automatically started X session ?
