Seems you have found your solution to this problem, but i want to
add this, maybe unrelated to your problem, but yet usefull:
In your original solution you have two X servers running at different
resolutions, you don't need to start two servers for this, just use
the command 'xrandr'
# to see available modes
xrandr -q
# to change to a desired mode
xrandr -s number_in_first_column_of_previous_command
'xrandr' is part of the x11-base/xorg-x11 package.
