You might want something like this...

In my .bashrcx()

x()
{
      D=x
      for i in `seq 0 4`;do if [ ! -f /tmp/.X${i}-lock ]; then D=$i; 
break; fi; done
      if [ "${D}" = "x" ]; then
        echo "No free virtual terminal"
      else
        if [ $# -lt 1 ];
          then /usr/bin/startx -- :${D} -depth 24 -dpi 96 2> ~/.X.err > 
~/.X.out  &
          else /usr/bin/startx -- :${D} -depth $1 -dpi 96  2> ~/.X.err 
> ~/.X.out  &
        fi;
      fi
}

Modify to suit your needs.
