Seems there is a rather simple, if not elegant, solution.
1. Write a script to swap the xorg.conf files back/forth
2. Configure Linux to boot into a text shell
So, you power on and get your Grub boot menu for RT or non RT kernel.
Pick one. Then you get dropped to a command prompt. Run your custom
script to pick the xorg.conf version you want to run. Then issue startx.
