on http://startx.times.lv/ , in the FAQs, that is explained...
that that is not possible yet. Not straightforward, at least.

in the XF86Config you can determin what mouse device goes to
which Xserver. you can also configure which Xserver goes with
which VT. What you can not configure is which keyboard goes with
which VT. During initialisation the first keyboard found goes to
the first VT, the second to the second one, usw. And if you have
any special keyboards, like one with extra mulitmedia keys
(a microsoft keyboard i have here), this one keyboard will
register as two keyboards and you need a dummy VT just to satisfy
that multimedia-keys-subkeyboard.
