As always, the answer is "it depends". Generally, try ctrl-alt-F7 or alt-F7. If that doesn't work, try F8 instead, or F9. You can also try issuing the command "chvt 7", "chvt 8" or "chvt 9".

I'm warming the thread.

I'm also going to ask what I believe is a simpler question.  I did
verify that my keyboard is not broken by doing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a
terminal screen (with a cool looking KnoppMyth "LCD TV" border images) I can log in and navigate around, but I cannot figure out how to return
to the x-windows desktop.  All I can do to get back there is to call
"reboot now".

How do I return to the x-windows desktop after using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to jump
to a terminal?

I have installed KnoppMyth, but in a fit of rage destroyed my mouse.  I used to
be able to use the numeric pad in place of the mouse, but now I cannot get that
to work at all.  at all...  so much so that I think my keyboard is also broken.

Please advise.

Thank you for your time,
