Yes. ALT+Fn, n=3D1, ... 8 will give you virtual terminals, ALT+F9 brings
you back to X.

The virtual terminals are defined in /etc/ttys (it also as a man page:
ttys(5)). Other graphical login managers (like XFree's xdm) are launched
=66rom that file, but for some reason that does not work with gdm (thus
the startup script).
