My script is currently the following (I use tcsh).

/home/eric/bin/xmonad &
setenv DISPLAY beryllium:0.1 exec /home/eric/bin/xmonad &
wait

However, the second screen still isn't loading correctly. Does
everything look okay for this?

--------------------------------

It won't, no.  The exec causes the shell to vanish (so the second xmonad
isn't seen at all).

Try something like

/home/eric/bin/xmonad &
setenv DISPLAY=beryllium:0.1 exec /home/eric/bin/xmonad

Presuming that works OK, you might want to start both instances in the
background and use wait (to wait for both) at the end of the script.  Or
some variant like that---I'm not sure what would be most convenient for
someone running two window managers.
