There's no need to 'go to linux' again. Perhaps you are mislead by the fact that after you run a graphical program from the shell prompt in XTerm you don't get the prompt back---but that's easily fixed by running the command in the background by adding the ampersand to the end of the command: tesst & When you go to the text console and do startx again, you have dueling X servers, and I am not sure what is the expected result of that. Don't do that---use the original X by either running in background with &, or creating a new xterm, or arranging for your app icon to be visible so that you can run it by doubleclicking the icon.
