It should be possible to run something like
startx -- :1
to open a second X instance on the virtual console. You have to figure
out how to start the second X on the other display.
The man page mentions 'startx -- -layout Multihead'. Seems like the
'-layout' option might be what you need.
Hope this helps,
Andrei
