Several X servers w/different WM's simultaneously?

I am trying to run 2 separate X servers with different WM's via 2 video
cards and 2 monitors, one server on each. This works fine launching
both from console; but only ONE will display at a time, depending on
which one I have 'focused' on via control-alt-shift F7 / F8. This makes
sense on single monitor display, X wouldn't want to bother drawing its
screen if you are not able to view it at all.. but in a multiple monitor
environment, this doesn't make sense. Is there any way I can 'fix' this
behavior so that both screens will actively display at all times? Note
- the keyboard and mouse are only required to work in one of the X servers.
Thank you,
Robert Lorentz
