running two instances of lxdm tty7 and tty8

Is it possible to run 2 instances of lxdm at the same time?  One on tty7 and one on tty8?

Qingy works that way by doing this in /etc/inittab:

c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty1
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty3
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty4
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty5
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux

The agetty is left in tty6 in case qingy is busted. However qingy runs in runlevel 3 using a framebuffer, not X.

Hmmm... should have mentioned that I use systemd so /etc/inittab is not used.
