You could pass the "-query localhost" option to your X server, but I don't
know if that is still supported.
Or use a display manager (like xdm or kdm) instead of startx.
For example, on my system my xdm configuration is at
/usr/pkg/etc/xorg/xdm/xdm-config. It defines many settings including:
DisplayManager.servers: /usr/pkg/etc/xorg/xdm/Xservers
This /usr/pkg/etc/xorg/xdm/Xservers file could contain addition servers to
start up (on :1) for example.
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt8
The man page for xdm has some details. Or let us know if you want to use
kdm instead.
Feel free to ask more questions about this ...
