Apologies; didn't provide a complete answer.
AH.. looks like someone already made the post.
Yes, ``startx -- -bpp 8 :0'' and ``startx -- -bpp 32 :1''. Chances are you
have a default resolution set in /etc/XF86Config; you'll need to change
resolutions (control-alt and keypad plus&minus?? I don't remember.. hehe)
from the keyboard, assuming you don't have DontZoom defined in your
/etc/XF86Config (it's not defined by default last I knew, so unless you
changed it you'll be alright)

| Sure. You can have multiple X _servers_ running.
|
| YOu have to tell the Xserver where to put itself tho (ie, where to put the
| display!); this is done with a :0, :1, etc etc.
|
| Not quite sure how you do this via startx; the default startx prog lets ya
| pass Xserver options after the -- special option. ie, to start in 32bit
| color mode, ``startx -- -bpp 32".
|
| Try, maybe, ``startx -- :0'' and ``startx -- :1''? (or course you need a
| couple of free ttys for this to work)
|
| [[I haven't tried running two _local_ sessions. I usually have one local
| session (started via startx) and one remote session (started via
| Xwrapper -query xdm.host.com :1) for talking to a remote box running
xdm.]]
|
| Lemme know if that works for ya.

|
|
| Is there a possibility to run several X-sessions at the same time?
| I want my regular 1440x1080x32bbp running at the same time as a
| 800x600x8bpp
| Can it be done?
| I susspect some switch added to 'startx' but i cant seem to find it in the
| docs and man-pages...
