Same on a NEC laptop at work, I forget the model number.

It would not give me virtual consoles at all on a fresh install of FC4 
until I updated, but I searched for "virtual consoles FC4" or something 
and found a bug report that said updating fixed it.

Now I discover that ctl-alt-Fn takes me to the text terminals from the 
X11 terminal, but to get back I have to use MSCMDkey-alt-Fn. (You know, 
that key with the wavy MSWindow flaggy on it.)
