you are saying 'from an x session', then 'from a text console' and
'same tty'.

so, 'from an x session to a text console, aka, virtual console,
staying in same tty, aka, same virtual console'.

correct?

Let me try and explain better. From X: Alt-CTRL-F1 takes me to a virtual console (tty1). From X: Alt-CTRL-F2 takes me to a virtual console (tty2). But once I'm at a text, virtual console Alt-F1 or Alt-F2 or Alt-F3.... don't do anything. I remain at the terminal where I came out of X. And I can't get back into X either. I'm stumped.


I am back on Fedora 9, now, and both ALT+Fn and CTRL+ALT+Fn are working
for me, so the problem is probably specific to your setup.

for me with f8, saa.

It's definitely a straight plain vanilla installation.

as in what type keyboard? 102 -> 110 key? special music / power, etc?
din, pc, usb port?

Machine is about a 7 year old Dell with a 110 key PC keyboard. It's not USB or wireless or anything like that.
