Works fine for me (suspend/resume or VTY switch -- why anyone would want
to switch from X to a console befuddles me, but whatever).

If something has caused the machine to start swapping then X tends to grind
to a halt and opening an X term or similar will often fail or take so long as
to be useless. Far better to switch to a console and hopefully log in on that
to get a command line.

Ditto if some process is being antisocial with X and has grabbed the screen
etc and won't let go.
