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.
This is slightly off on a tangent, but it may be illuminating.
If you have a root prompt, you can start X servers by hand without using startx, even. For example, you can type:
xinit -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 (or :2 or :3 or :4) for local sessions,
or you can start a session on a remote machine by specifying the display as "foo:0" where "foo" is the hostname of the remote machine.
