Fortunately, "X" ignores keystrokes, so you're able to use your keyboard.

Does this mean the problem is "solved"?

If so, then yes, its jsut a matter of figuring out what's not
compatible in your xmodmap and fixing it up.

Oh...the [Solved] is a holdover from the first time it got
"solved." It just never got removed. Sorry for the confusion. But
it's solved enough for me, for the moment.

I meant that the xmodmap was the problem, and without it your vt
switching functioned properly, right? So now its a "how do I fix my
xmodmap" question...

Oh. Well, in that case, yes. I figure that part shouldn't be too
hard; I'll just comment out everything, start X, switch to a VT,
kill X, uncomment something, start X, switch to a VT...etc. When I
have time, that is.

Anyway, thanks for your in this!
