So what's your point, exactly?

I just wanted to skip the part where people suggested things
I'd already tried.

What's your video card?

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17
[GeForce4 420 Go 32M] (rev a3)

Maybe your x.org driver is not up to par .. ??

I had this problem with the default nv driver and still do
with the nvidia-glx driver I'm currently using.

# chvt 2 .. you need to be root, though ..

Thanks to the magic of su and sudo, that is not a problem.
chvt works, and from there I can go to various vt's and back
to X in the normal way. Thanks a lot...it's just odd that
that doesn't happen with the keybindings.

Thanks,
Amy
