For first sesion $ startx -- :0 -layout first vt7 For second sesion $ startx -- :1 -layout second vt8 Linux kernel allow only one current VT. If You switch to vt7 , then second X server do pause while vt8 become active. Your different input devices are defined in "first" or "second" server layout section, file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Both servers must start gdm, or You can start 2nd X server from xterm inside 1st X server.
