Well, you can. You can pass the XF86Config to use on the
command line to the server. If you use something like xdm, you

Did you look in xdm, or gdm?
In gdm.conf look for something like
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X11/X -depth 24 -xf86config "your first config"
flexible=true
[server-Standard2]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X11/X -depth 24 -xf86config "your second config"
flexible=true
[servers]
0=Standard vt7
1=Standard vt8
you could define multiple configs this way, I think ;-)
or in xserverrc
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp -xf86config "config file you
want to use"

No, as I don't use them.

seems like something that should be in the X man page... and it
seems not to be :(
thanks for the tips, and I will stop being OT now.

Ok, just one tip (I beg the fellow members' pardon):
Instead of trying to load different XF86Configs alltogether, why not create
different "server layouts" in the very same one?

-xf86config file
Read the server configuration from file. This option will work for any
file when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0), or for
files relative to a directory in the config search path for all other
users.
