Issues with the vnc module

I have an off-the-beaten-path question I'm hoping you can help with...
My system:
Fedora Core 7
Xorg v1.3.0 (Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3)
Linux 2.6.22.4
I am running VNC by loading the "vnc" module via xorg.conf. It all
works well, with a few issues.
1) On my remote machine, the monitor is smaller than the monitor
directly attached to the VNC host, so I end up with vertical/horizontal
scrollbars. Usable, but annoying.
So, I added another Screen stanza in my xorg.conf with the "Modes" set
to the display size I want.
Here's the relevent info:
Then, I simply run, from the command line, "startx -- :8 -screen Screen1".
This starts a new KDE session on display :8 with my specified resolution.
Now I can connect my remote machine to either :0 or :8 depending on
which display I want. Very cool.
However - I'd like :8 to be started at bootup, and request login, or at
least don't start as "root".
How do I go about doing that?
2) When I connect my vnc client to the vnc server machine, I get a
black screen. For some reason, I have to go to my vnc server machine,
and switch to desktop 8 (Alt-Ctrl-F8) and then the screen displays on my
vnc client.
Shouldn't this happen automatically? What am I missing?
