chvt - how?
 
How do I get back to the X desktop after chvt?

Hi,

perhaps I'm missing something here, but you can use "chvt n", or <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Fn> where n is the VT X is running on.

How do I find out which VT is used by X?

PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
...
1065 tty8 Ss+ 4:11 /usr/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/mdm/:0.Xauth -n
...
5718 pts/1 R+ 0:00 ps -ax
