if you are using the XFree binaries from:
http://www.schuldei.org/debian/bruby/
it already contains the patches, but the
patch that alows concurrent running X servers is
older version, so you have to pass "-prefbusid " 
to every X server you start

if you are using the XFree packages that came with debian,
try first what Aivils explains below

take a look at this chapters of the howto
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO/mod_x_server.html
