 Sounds like you need the flag that was originally added for the
 multiseat support in Xorg:

     -sharevts
             Share virtual terminals with another  X  server,  if
             supported by the OS.

 Google finds pages such as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
 that should have more information.
