Sounds like you need the flag that was originally added for the
multiseat support in Xorg:

      -sharevts
              Share virtual terminals with another  X  server,  if
              supported by the OS.

Google finds pages such as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
that should have more information.
