Re: Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't switch to text console on potato
3.3.5-1 doesn't seem to have that problem here, using the xserver-3dlabs
server. Possibly it's a server issue? (I can't test xserver-svga, as my
card is one of the few which doesn't work with it).
Are you using xdm (or equivilent) to perform a graphical login? If so,
you might look at /etc/inittab and make sure that the VTs each have a
getty defined (this is just a wild guess...).
