I have been running sid for a while, with a customized xmodmap that I load through script when I log in to X. I also have been unable to switch to console for a while, unhappy for that, but otherwsie in a bearable state of mind. I openen an account for my wife a few days ago, and I discovered that from her account it is possible to switch! So, my theory that it was not possible due to using open source resources fro ati radeon 9800 has crashed into pieces. Now I atribute it (as a possiblity) to my xmodmap, which may be messing some action here. I haven't modified any of the left (alt, cntrl), nor F? keys. But still I would like to hear some opinions about the possible cause, and remedies for this crappy situation. Running sid, kernel 2.6.3. I am attaching my xmodmap. Thanks to all.
