On my previous reply message,the line "...If you started X-window,by using a window manager or a desktop environment,normally it uses virtual screen #10..."=20 reads "...If you started X-window,by using a window manager or a desktop environment,normally it uses virtual screen #9...". The 1st virtual screen is stty0,so the 10th is stty9, the default one allocated to X sessions. That's why you will use Ctrl-F10 while on another screen to resume X session's screen (10th:stty9).

If you started X-window,by using a window manager or a desktop environment,normally it uses virtual screen #10 (you can change the virtual screens in the /etc/ttys file). So remember that in case you switch to any of the virtual screens 0 to 7,if you want to resume your X session (your window manager or desktop environment), you have to press Alt-F10.
