From another console you can run:
Code:

startx -- :1
to start X in that console.

A similar trick is to run
Code:

xinit -- :1
Depending on how you setup your system an X session will start with a terminal window open. You can then run something like "exec startkde", "xfce4-session" etc in order to start a DE or WM of your choice (I use it to run a different DE to my default). If you have set a default session in ~/.xinitrc, the default session will be automatically started.

thanks to all reply how about if I want to end that GUI? i click logout and a lot of error messages...
what is the proper way to exit that startx -- :1 or xinit -- :1?

Cheers,
:-)
