I've also been trying to get multiple xservers running on a single card, but
as far as I can tell (please correct me if I'm wrong) it isn't possible.  My
solution was to use a single dual headed card, a single xserver, and start
two xsessions to get the same effect.  I added an entry to the wiki with an
xorg.conf file that allows for two xsessions on a single monitor (Vizio
GV42L) so that I can have PIP to watch tv and cruise the internets at the
same time...  maybe it will help.
