 Q1.
 When I switch to X from console the Control and Alt keys remain

 I use the mouse or hit another key. Why?

Probably something to do with the kbd driver. I remember something similar
before.

 Q2.
 Is it possible to use the mouse under console (in text mode)?

Yes, using gpm. Unfortunately the Xsun servers are very greedy with the
the mouse device so you cannot use gpm and X at the same time. If you want
this behavior, then I suggest using the xserver-xfree86 from woody, and
configure it to use the sunffb driver (for Creator/Elite) which even
supports acceleration and DRI.

  About Q2, mouse on console:
Yes, use gpm.

  # cat /etc/gpm.conf 
  device=/dev/sunmouse
  responsiveness=
  repeat_type=
  type=sun
  append=-3
  #

And

  # grep mouse /etc/X11/XF86Config 
  Device /dev/sunmouse
  #

I have an U10 with Mach64 onboard chip.

That will not work with Xsun servers. They open the mouse using the legacy
event driven protocol, which is incompatible with gpm.
