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.
