The X session starts on the next free VC, not on the VC you type the
command to start X from. With a stock RedHat system, the first X
session startx on VC 7, the second on VC 8, the third on VC 9, etc.
So, with what you started, to get to the session you started from VC 1,
use Ctrl-Alt-F8, and for the one from VC 2, use Ctrl-Alt-F9.
(VC 1 is the console you get to with Ctrl-Alt-F1...)
