This is actually super-easy, although not obvious. Edit the config file
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, and find the section like this near the end of the
file:
[servers]
# These are the standard servers. You can add as many you want here
# and they will always be started. Each line must start with a unique
# number and that will be the display number of that server. Usually just
# the 0 server is used.
0=Standard
#1=Standard
Then, uncomment that second line, so you have
0=Standard
1=Standard
and restart GDM. (sudo init 3; sudo init 5)
Then, when GDM restarts, you'll have one login screen on (by default) the
virtual console on ctrl-alt-f7, and another on ctrl-alt-f8.
You may also want to edit some things in /etc/security/console.perms, to
share sound card access, etc.
