Multiple X displays no longer works

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to RH 8.0.  Prior to that I had RH 7.2, 7.3 (Suse, Caldera,
etc). 

I've always run with multiple X displays enabled by adding the following to
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08

It has always worked until RH 8.0.

I'm using the standard (gdm?) login for Redhat 8.0 and have tried having an
Xserver in /etc/X11/gdm with the same lines - to no avail.

I have googled and redhat'ed till I'm blue in the face and can find nothing
that tells me how to do this or what has changed.  So, does anyone here have a
clue?

TIA
