Thanks. That's what I was looking for. I couldn't
figure out how to start 2 servers automatically.
(It's that grody .ini config file format. Is .ini
even documented anywhere?)

Why step 2, make softlinks to the X command?

What if I didn't want to use a *dm? On one DISPLAY
I want to go straight to the *dm of a remote box,
and on the other, the one used for a copy machine,
I don't want to authenticate at all. A *dm seems
a bit overkill, I _could_ just run X and startX
directly. Are there any out-of-the-box solutions
or should I just use inittab?
