I want to run two X servers on the one machine, with one video card and one monitor,
ie one on Alt-f7 and onr on Alt-f8. I believe Carl was doing this when he did his
recent meeting presentation. I am wanting a separate server running 800*600 which is
(more or less) full screen for the tv card.
I tried just adding another screen section to the bottom of /etc/X11/XF86Config, but
that didn't work.
The file is quite short, so I pasted it below, with my addition being the obvious bit
at the end.
