If you are switching to a new virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f1, for example) after logging in at a graphical screen, then you'll need to tell X to start on a different display, like so: startx -- :1 or startx -- :2 if you want to start a THIRD X session. I suppose you could also be trying to log in from an xterm, which won't work at all. However, if you're trying to start a new X session over ssh, then the above should work.
