Chances are that your computer wasn't "really" trashed, however, it is trivial for an ill behaved program to render the console useless. In those cases, the only solution is to find a way to access the computer remotely and clean up.
X fiddles with the keyboard. If X gets hosed, you will likely not be able to switch consoles.
None of this is likely to change.
