You can run multiple X sessions simultaneously; each one uses a different
display number. The default is ":0", and when you ran startx, it found
that :0 was already in use. If you specifiy ":1" (or ":2", ...), then
it will try that instead and find that it's not in use:
startx -- :1
You can also tell startx what to run instead of the normal X stuff. At
home
I have a headless Sun server (riven) in my attic, and I set up ssh keys so
I can ssh to it without a password. On my workstation, I run
startx /usr/bin/ssh riven /usr/dt/bin/Xsession -- :1
and soon I get a nice Solaris desktop on the next tty, tunneled through
ssh.
So ctrl-alt-f7 is my Linux desktop and crtl-alt-f8 is my Solaris desktop.
