It's a bit of work, but it can be done. You can specify layouts from the commandline. So you'd want two Section "ServerLayout" (say, "Layout0" and "Layout1") that you can specify from the commandline like so: "startx -- -layout Layout1" The first layout listed in the XF86Config is the default. The two layouts will reference different Screens, so you'll need two Section "Screen", each of which reference a different Monitor. So, just clone your Section "Screen". Change the Monitor in the second one. Give the second one a new Identifier. Clone your Section "ServerLayout" and have the second one reference the cloned Section "Screen" Identifer. Change the Identifier of the cloned server layout. Start either by referencing the layout's Identifier on the commandline. Mark.
