Alt-F? won't work with X, but Ctrl-Alt-F? will work.

Yeah, this sounds like a modelines problem.  What size monitor do you
have?  What resolutions does it run?  In the Monitor section of your
/etc/X11/XF86Config file, change the horizontal and vertical refresh
rates to match those of your monitor.  Also specify the screen
resolution.  If you don't know how to do this, then send us your
XF86Config file and we can mark it up for you.
