I understand your frustration, but the problem isn't all with the other people 
on the list.  It may be because you didn't put enough in the question for 
anyone to answer.  Or, the subject doesn't match the problem and they see the 
subject and say, "I don't know much about that" and ignore it either way, 
(like I almost did).  And a lot of people on this list are extremely picky, 
and anal about things being just their way.  God forbid you should get upset 
with a problem and rant about it.  They think its a personal attack against 
their first born or something.  So next time put as much info about each of 
the problems in separate email messages to the list.  And, make the subject 
of the messages match the ONE problem in the message.  2 problems = 2 
messages.  Works much better this way.  This way I can search for messages 
about KonCD and not get one about switching consoles.

But,
IF you [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F2]  you should get tty2, is this what you mean by, 
"can't switch" or are you doing it a different way?
Look in your inittab and make sure mingetty or something like it is loading 
multiple times.  If not do some searching on how to load it or post a 
question about that.
