[SOLVED] Switching back to X from tty
Is it possible to switch back to X from a virtual console if X is still running?
Say I do:
tty1:
> startx
*does stuff in X*
*presses ctrl+alt+F2*
*does stuff in tty2*
If I go back to tty1, I am still in text mode. Is it possible to switch into X without killing the process and restarting it?

Well, I've found out it's ctrl-alt-f"number-of-your-ttys+1". If you start just three consoles, your ex will be at ctrl-alt-f4.
