You should have a file /etc/kde/kdm/Xservers symbolically linked
to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. This file should have one entry defining
display :0, which is your current default virtual screen. Add additional
lines; I have in mine:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08
The :0 is the original entry. The :1 is one I added for a second display.
The "reserve" parameter defines an "on demand" startup; locking a KDE screen
will offer to start a new session. If you remove the reserve, then the
second display will start with KDM. The "vt08" tells says it will be on
virtual terminal 8 (i.e. ctrl-alt-F8). I'm not sure why the second ":1", it
was in the example I was given, and just worked. You can define more,
i.e. :2 on vt09, etc.
You probably need to restart KDM to get the change noticed.
