Hi:

	To do it with with gdm, edit the gdmrc config file (gdm.conf) and 
search the section:

		[servers]

	there, add a line

		1=standard
		2=standard
		...

	for every display you want started. 

	You can also do it by changing the Xservers file (the standard 
way to do it) somewhere in your /etc/ directory. kdm uses this way. In 
this file, uncomment the lines you want:

	:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X  -nolisten tcp :0 vt7
	:1 local@tty2 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :1 vt8
	...

	And restart your display manager. Both ways should work, I guess.

	Saludos
