Yourself, first of all.  Try reading the 'Xserver' man page.

No.  If several users are running X servers on the same computer at the same 
time, they need to each use a unique display number.

'-nolock' is only useful if /tmp resides on a FAT filesystem, which doesn't 
support the semantics needed by lockfiles, or if a stale lockfile has been 
left behind by a crashed XWin which you don't have rights to remove.
