This may be a naive question, but does anyone know how to enable the
virtual terminals (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) on a Wheezy dom0?

Running squeeze. I have NVidia video. Problem is, I have no virtual
8terminals. ctrl-alt-f1 to 6 gets me a blank screen, although c-a-f8 (yes,
f8) does bring back X. I've looked for solutions but nothing I've found
works. E.g., I created /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc.conf with one line

I recently also brought up Ubuntu Edgy and had the same problem. I gave up
on Ubuntu for other reasons.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get the virtual terminals working.
Thanks.

The file you probably want is /etc/inittab.
the lines in my (unstable) setup that control the virtual

Microsoft is the answer! The question is, "Why did my PC crash?"
Hi!
I just switched X11 server from s3v to svga (the staroffice install freezes
otherwise). Now I get the rather annoying problem: whenever I start X, all the
virtual terminals get scrambled. I tried the allmighty "reset" inside one of
the terminals with no success. I also tried
espawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
