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.

Section "ServerLayout"

        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
