Do you mean that you are trying to start a second X session while the
first is still running, or are you having difficulty starting for a
second time having exited the first session?
If it is the first (and you get an error like:
server is already active for display :0, or something)
you can fix it with
startx -- :1
to start the second X server on display 1. This will probably associate
it with <ctrl><alt><F8>.
If it is the second, I think you have a problem (X not exiting
properly?) 'cos I don't think that should happen.
