This *might* work:
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
tube)
startx -- -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config.tube
;;
lcd)
startx -- -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config.lcd
;;
*)
echo "You must specify your display"
;;
esac
Save it as something like my_X, make it executable and put it in your
$PATH. I like to put my scripts in ~/bin, and make that the first
path in $PATH. Then call it like:
$ my_X tube
or
$ my_X lcd
Choosing an X config file for xdm at system startup is a bit trickier.
Note, the XFree86 manpage says this about the -xf86config option:
"This option will work for any file when the server is run as
root (i.e, with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory
in the config search path for all other users."
