With "startx -- vt 8" or similar.

You may try the XRANDR extension from XFree 4.3. It supports switching 
resolution at run time, maybe it also works for Xinerama. I don't know though 
because I don't have Xinerama enabled. QT supports it with some patches, and 
native in QT 3.2 (beta). KDE has a kcmxrandr module in CVS (kdenonbeta).
