You switch between the consoles by just Alt+F[1-6] once you left X, still running on Alt+F7. If you use startx then append a & to the end, reads "startx &". This will keep your console usable though you switch to X mode. Go back to the startx console, say it is tty1, by using Strg+Alt+F1. But I would suggest you try to find out whats causing the black screen when switching from X to console. Do you use a framebuffer console?
