try ctrl-alt-f2 ctrl-alt-f1 will be your default, and unless I miss my guess, that will be running X.
X will be running on a display 6 numbers higher than the associated console. So CRTL-ALT-F1 is the console for the X display running on CTRL-ALT-F7 ctrl-alt-f2 will be running for ctrl-alt-f8 etc. etc. My guess is that the console you looked at was already being used.
