[Solved] switching virtual consoles without exiting X

hi! i remember that in ubuntu, if i press ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 o can switch virtual consoles and if i return for example to VC/1 my session stays the same, but in arch if i do that when i return to VC/1 from another, i found that my x where killed, i run fluxbox with nothing more, maybe that is the problem but dont know how to that, for example without gnome or kde

TNX!

x runs on 'vc/7', not 'vc/1'. switch to a virtual console f1-f6 then back to x on f7.
