LightDM Multiple VT Problems

I have installed LightDM and GTK3 greeter as per wiki.

It works in VT5 as it is supposed to, but I can't get it to start in both VT5 and VT6 simultaneously so that two users can be logged in at the same time.

I have read Xorg Multiseat page and tried different LightDM seat configurations, but none seem to work. I don't have xorg.conf though, so I didn't try server layout settings... Adding those will be the next thing, but do I need to make full xorg.conf file, or is it enough to insert only the needed parts?

Another problem is that when I try to switch from VT6, running Enlightenment started from console using 'startx', to VT5, running either LightDM or another E session, it doesn't work. The focus changes alright though, so I can't anymore do things in VT6 after pressing ctrl+alt+f6 but the screen does not update. To get really into VT5 I first have to go to console login screen running in e.g VT4 and then to VT5.

Any ideas?
