The Feisty kernel doesn't always make switching to a text console and back work. Some boots it works, some boots it doesn't. Sometimes the first few switches work, but then it breaks. e.g. I booted just now (with a monitor and keyboard connected directly, not through a KVM), and the first thing I did was CTRL+ALT+F1 (while gdm was displaying the login prompt), then switch back. It worked a couple times, then I logged in. After starting firefox and starting to type this, I switched again, and this time the vid mode was screwed up when I switched back. Thank goodness for x11vnc, so I can finish sending this!
