gdm is the thing that starts X here. So edit gdm.conf such that it
starts X on :0, :1, and :2. I'm not sure precisely what you'd change,

Assuming reasonably current version of gdm make section '[servers]'
in /etc/gdm/custom.conf to read

[servers]
1=Standard
2=Standard

Sever 0 is defined in defaults.conf but if you want to add
'0=Standard' line then nothing stops you even if this is not
doing anything new.

As it says on a manpage for gdm:
"See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ for more details".
