X-system X.org Ctrl-Alt-Func key terminal switching



One of the things I liked about woody and sarge was the Ctrl-Alt-Func keys that could get me to a text prompt.

When I used the the etch beta installation CDROM on a new box, X.org (and kernel 2.6.12) got installed. The Ctrl-Alt-Backspace works just fine! But the Ctrl-Alt-Func Keys don't get me to a text terminal. I looked in a book by Aron Hsiao entitled XFREE86 for Linux in hopes of finding a configuration file that would enable them. I also hunted through the system and succeeded in finding how to invoke openoffice but couldn't find the Ctrl-Alt-Func Key stuff.

   Thanks for any clues or Easter Eggs!  And happy hunting to y'all, too!
