As far as I have read you can have two instances of X running, the first will be accessable by CTRL+ALT+F7 and the second is CTRL+ALT+F8. I know I have done two seperate instances of X, I had not tested them at differing resolutions. To get the second instance started I switched to the first console by CTRL+ALT+F1 and then logged in and ran startx. Then it automatically popped me over to the second instance of X. I hope that answers your question!

First X:

Second X:
Third X (not sure if you can?):
You get the picture? 
PS: Change resolutions with CTRL + and CTRL - |

Well, since I think you want to play some game on the other X; here is my CounterStrike start script.
cs
| Code: | XINITRC=""
xinit /home/meyerm/bin/cswine -- :1 -xf86config XF86Config.nvidia |
cswine
| Code: | cd "/home/meyerm/.wine/c/Program Files/HalfLife/"
wine hl.exe -- hl.exe -game cstrike |
And the XF86Config.nvidia, which resides als in /etc/X11 only has 1024x768x16bit and so on.
