I have two monitors and I'd like to run a separate X server on each of them. I've added this so far:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
Screen 1 "StarCraft Screen" 0 1
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "SCLayout"
Screen 1 "StarCraft Screen"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "StarCraft Screen"
Device "Device1"
Monitor "StarCraft Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 640 480
Depth 24
Modes "640x480@60" "1280x800@50"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "StarCraft Monitor"
VendorName "Plug 'n' Play"
ModelName "Plug 'n' Play"
Gamma 1
ModeLine "640x480@60" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync
EndSectionAnd I can get another X server to start on the other screen, but I can't have both servers enabled at once it seems - when I switch to one, the other monitor goes into sleep mode. As of now I don't have any input devices for the second monitor, would that be why?
Thanks!
e: Change of plans. I'd like to just start two separate X servers from a TTY, with X :0/1 -screen Screen0/1. That seems to work fine, but then when I go to another TTY, set DISPLAY with DISPLAY=:0/1, and try running xterm I get an error that DISPLAY is not set. Any advice?
e2: Ok I got that, I needed to set DISPLAY with export DISPLAY=:0/1. I have the same problem as before now though, I can't see both X servers at once - when I switch servers, the other monitor goes into standby mode.

Well, I'm not sure if this will fix it, but it seems your serverlayout may need to be fixed. It's referencing Screen0, but you don't have a device that is identified as screen0. I think you meant that to be "StarCraft Monitor"

Sorry I only posted part of my config. Screen0 is just the standard screen setup, the Starcraft stuff should be the other monitor. Here's my full config:
