ctrl-alf-fX is only needed if you are in X.  If you are in a regular 
console, alt-fX works just fine.

 Ahh!  I had tried that (sort of).  Usually it is simply Alt-Fx to
switch terminals and that doesn't work anymore.  But I tried your
suggestionb of the Ctrl-Alt-Fx combination and that works wonderfully!
