I don't know about on top of X, but I use screen on a vt. I looked at the
documentation a few times over the years and
found it too daunting to even try screen. But then I put Linux on an old PDA
I acquired that only has one vt available
(on top of limited RAM), so that kind of forced me to start using screen.
Turns out to be quite simple,
actually--though I haven't touched, and don't really even understand, the
more complex capabilities of screen.
