You could try to press the Pause / SysRq key as many times as needed
until you're on your X screen again.
Have a look into /etc/ttys where the correct terminal should be
specified, e. g.
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
^^
So X will be on ttyv8 which is number 9 (Alt+PF9).
May I ask how you initiate your X (XFCE) session? This could give
a hint why console switching doesn't work as intended.
