I had the following section in xorg.conf (Xorg 6.[89]) which I have
copied to the 7.x version to be able to switch to console from X ...
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
Option "DontZoom" "true"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
# XFree86 4.[34].x - Add "DontVTSwitch" to be false (for
# console switching).
Option "DontVTSwitch" "false"
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "always"
# Xorg 6.8.(2|99.903) - Add "XkbDisable" to be true (for
# console switching).
Option "XkbDisable" "true"
EndSection
... so I suppose one or both of "DontVTSwitch" & "XkbDisable"
options would allow the switching; feel free to test.
