right, well you don't even have to edit .xinitrc to do this but you can do

xinit /usr/local/bin/xdosemu -- :1

or the following which can be faster if you usually use 24bpp in
the main X:

xinit /usr/local/bin/xdosemu -- :1 -depth 8

instead. For me this even works in an xterm. Maybe in some situations
you'll need to ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and then do this (if you normally
use X, that is). Using this command, xdosemu runs in VC 8.

"exitemu" even brings me back to my normal X -- nice :-)
