I just tried it again to make sure. From an X session CTRL+ALT+Fn

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.
FWIW my ~6-year-old Packard Bell laptop has the same problem. The only wayout
I can find is to shut down.
You can't ctrl-alt F7 to get back to X?? Ric
I can't either. Alt-Fx and ctrl-alt-Fx do nothing.
