How about single user mode? Are you able to get virtual console there.
Also try to disable gdm/kdm, see whether virtual consoles are working.

So are you still running nv?
Yes
and what was the driver that wouldn't compile?
I run x86-195.36.15 on the latest Sid kernel and it
compiles just
fine, but I don't (yet) have a AMD64 system.
Excerpt from /var/log/nvidia-installer.log :

Indeed. Forget this if it is beating a dead horse, but did you have
gcc-4.3 + gcc-4.4 both installed? I did and I set the symlink gcc to
gcc-4.3 and that got rid of the message.
Thank you Hugo, I managed to compile the proprietary driver.
Now every ctrl+alt+Fn leads to a complete black screen, with no
prompt or cursor or anything.
Ctrl+alt+F7 works as expected.
Could it be that my system stopped creating the consoles at boot time ?
What should I check and where ?
Well, I'll be darned. This is a new one for me.
What display manager are you using? Gdm, Kdm...?
What happens if stop the display manager?
Like, I use gdm and I can stop it with '/etc/init.d/gdm stop'
Then I can disable gdm from coming up by inserting 'exit 0'in the beginning.
Then I can see the VT's that I have, normally there are 6 Ctrl+Alt+F1-6.
Then I can log in as user on one of them and issue
'startx -- :0 -layout X1 -dpi 110 -isolateDevice PCI:1:0:0'
and on VT7 see the X user session. But that will depend on how xorg.conf
is set up.
