Try this: startx > /tmp/startx.out 2> /tmp/startx.out

Works for me under RedHat 5.0.

Also, if you're using XFree86, you should be able to press Crtl-Alt-F1 (or
F-whatever) to get back to a virtual console; then the normal
Alt-Fwhatever to switch between VCs, with F7 being the 'VC' for your X
session.
