you mean by doing something different than:
startx --:2
which will place another session of X on the next tty (tty7 in your case).
it's been a while since i've used this, but give it a try.
to give it 24 bit color depth (if it is not your default) try:
startx --:2 -bpp 24
changing 24 to 16 would swap it to 16 bit color.
you probably get the idea.
tired now,
