The fact that pointing /usr/X11R6/bin/X to the Xorg seems to have fixed your problem could mean either: * /etc/X11/X doesn't point to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg on your system. If so, you should fix this, as the next upgrade of xserver-common will restore the Xwrapper binary. * The Xwrapper is broken.
Problem resolved:I did change /usr/X11R6/bin/X to point to Xorg, but perhaps there is another change that occurred that resulted in the fix, for example installing the nvidia-glx package. I was having some kind of problem related to nvidia-glx, and that problem resolved, so perhaps the vt switching problem was related.
I see that in fact /etc/X11/X does now point to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg: ls -l /etc/X11/X: /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/X11/Xorg and the Xwrapper has been re-installed since the link I put in is not there: ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X: /usr/X11R6/bin/XAnd, my VT switching is now working. So, problem resolved but I don't know why! :)
