I used to be able to switch between text
console and graphical UI by pressing
(ctrl+alt+f1/f7). All of a sudden I got
this problem: after I switch to text-based
console and work for a few minutes, the
system automatically switches back to
graphic UI and asks me to login again
(although I logged in before and switched
to text console from there by pressing
ctrl+alt+f1). Does anyone know how to fix
this problem? thanks a lot.

It looks to me like X (graphical interface) crashed and therefore is restarting. When it restarts, it gets "focus" so you are moved to the graphical interface.
Try to find out why X is crashing.
Check /var/log/XF*log (there could be more than one log)
Or check the file .xsession-errors in the home directory of the user that was logged in.
