What is the syntax for startx on tty2 in order to start a 2nd X session

startx -- :1
Or if you wish to use a different Window Manager, then start the window
manager explicitly. For example
icewm -- :1
Or if you are already in KDE and want another KDE session.
Menu>Start new session
Ctl+Alt+F7, Ctl+Alt+F8
toggles between the sessions

One point that probably should be cleared up - it doesn't matter where X
is started from. You could have started the first X secession from tty5,
and start the second one from tty1, or the first one could be started by
booting into run level 5. You can even start one using "startx -- :1"
before starting a second one using "startx". (startx defaults to :0
unless you tell it different.) The first one started will use the first
free Vertual Console. This is tty7 with the default setup. The second
one will use the next free VC, and so forth. You are not limmited to just 2.
