If you have XDarwin from Fink installed on OS X 10.3.x, you can launch several instances of it. Most useful is to launch one instance rootless, and another fullscreen in IOKIT mode. This may also work with Apple's X11 (but it's not tested). I tested this hint successfully using XDarwin from X.org (X11R6.8.1), compiled with fink (unstable tree) on OS X 10.3.6. Here is the simple command:
xinit -display :1 -- :1 -fullscreen &
It will read the .xinitrc file in your $HOME, if you have one. I hope to see Virtual Console (or Virtual Terminal) support in OS X/Darwin sometime...
