[SOLVED] Can't run multiple X sessions.

When I go to diffrent tty (ctrl+alt+f2) and try to start new x session (for example "startx -- vt2 :1" or "xinit /usr/bin/i3 -- vt2 :1"), I get "Fatal server error: no screens found".
This is the drivers i'm using: "nvidia 352.09-1" for GeForce GTX 660 Ti

I'm using lxdm and when i boot up or do "systemctl restart lxdm" it goes to login screen and loads the session normally.
Also the commands above used to work a while ago, but probably something changed sometime and they don't anymore.

It's weird because X starts normally from lxdm.
I'd really like to use multiple X sessions, one for openbox and one for i3.

Yup, the workaround worked.
I'm so shortsighted sometimes...
