No.
If you look near the end of /etc/inittab you should see lines for
gettys.
Assuming that they're there, you should get some output with
$ ps -C getty
If CTRL-ALT-F1 doesn't work, from what vt are you trying? If you are in
X at the time, it could be that X is capturing keys.
Try getting out of X (I don't know how you got into it; I always use
startx) and see where you are.
