If you started your X11 session on virtual terminal 1 in text mode
using startx, it took over that particular console and ctrl-alt-F1
naturally does nothing.

Your other virtual consoles (2..8) are still there in text mode and you
cat move to them using the normal key combinations. When you exit your
X11 session, console 1 will return to text mode.
