Ctrl-Alt and the +/- keys on the keypad switches resolution, provided your XF86Config is set up with a list of resolutions in the screen section. IIRC there's some info on this in the man page for XF86Config.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills the Xserver, but gdm will immediately restart it with the same settings; other people have suggested ways around this already.
Ctrl-Alt-[F1->F12] switches ttys... by default, ttys 1-6 have console logins and 7 is where the X-Server runs. You can also use the other consoles - For example, 'tail -f /var/log/messages > /dev/tty12 &' will watch the messages file on console 12, so you can quickly check what's going on with ctrl-alt-F12. VMWare uses these additional ttys for virtual machines in full screen mode, and there are probably other uses I haven't though of.
