To add a "fine point" here, while the above combination leaves X to a
console and leaves X running, the return key(s) are not always ALT-F7,
that is standard yes, but depends on how many consoles are defined in
/etc/inittab.
X starts on the first free console, so if you only have 3 consoles in
iniittab as;
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
Then X starts on console 4 so ALT-F4 in this case returns to X.
Why do that anyway, i am stuk in my ways, this was done years ago to save
memory when it used to cost so much and i had so little, but is not a bad
idea anyway to do it if you dont need so many consoles.
