Doing the startx -- :1 works. However, I shouldn't have to do that. On
other distros I've set xdm up so it creates a couple of servers and if I
do type startx it figures out where to put the display if display 0 is in
use.

I don't know if this will help, but from the new virtual terminal line, try:
$ startx -- :1 &
The & is optional. That should start up another X display. You can
then swap between them using Ctrl+Alt+Fx buttons...
