Maybe my way can help you. The following three lines are from my startup 
script:

(1) OLDDPY=$(netstat -an | grep 0:60|tail -1|gawk -F: '{print 
substr($2,3,2)  }')
(2) DPY=$(expr $OLDDPY + 1)
(3) run  Xwin  :$DPY -dpi 75 -swcursor  -logfile $HOME/$USER.log  ... more 
options

All X servers  use a port 60xx, so line (1) lists all net connections and
greps the relevant 60xx lines. tail -1 gives the highest used 60xx port.
The gawk returns the relevant 2 digits. Those get assigned to OLDDPY 
(old/last
display number). Line (2) simply adds 1 to OLDDPY and assigns that number
to DPY (you guess it, thats the new DISPLAY number ...). Line (3) starts
X(win) with the new $DPY number and the parameter "--logfile 
$HOME/$USER.log"
assigns a different logfile for each user.
