I use a shell function (which tidies away the output and makes it
available for debugging) and I type startx & which leaves the
VC available for use. (Of course, you can always ^Z and background it.)
$ type startx
startx is a function
startx ()
{
echo Starting X \(information in \$HOME/.startx.stderr\);
/usr/bin/X11/startx 2>$HOME/.startx.stderr
}
