That should be as follows: when you set things up properly, you can
"startx" and that will load the first X server session. You can then
switch to tty2 through tty6 by pressing CtrlAltF2 - CtrlAltF6.
On the second (F2) login screen, ->After Logging In!!<- you can run
another x server, "startx -- :1" (startx -- :2 for the third one etc.)
But don't do that when you don't need that, in KDE you already have 4
virtual desktops and you can expand that to as many as 10 if I am correct
(I don't run KDE anymore , XFCE goes to 12).

Do you see a graphical screen with a mouse cursor? If so, you are running
X without a window manager installed. Then you better "upgrade" your
install and make sure you have KDE installed (although this is done by
default). If you only see a text screen, make sure you log in and you run
"startx" to start the x-windows system.
Let's hear if this gets you somewhere...
