Workaround: CTRL_ALT-F1 (X will still be running, if you want to kill X, although it's not necessary for this application, log in as root and do 'init 3'. 'init 5' to restart x). ALT-F7 to get back to X (if you didn't init) CTRL-ALT-F(1-6) provide you with 6 virtual terminals under normal operation.
