when you hit CTRL-ALT-F7 and CTRL-ALT-F8 make sure you let go of the CTRL-ALT
keys completely each time otherwise it won't work. That was my problem.

#The X session starts on the next free VC, not on the VC you type the

#session startx on VC 7, the second on VC 8, the third on VC 9, etc.
#So, with what you started, to get to the session you started from VC 1,
#use Ctrl-Alt-F8, and for the one from VC 2, use Ctrl-Alt-F9.
#(VC 1 is the console you get to with Ctrl-Alt-F1...)
