It worked like I expected for this setup with an old version of XFree, the SVGA server and an ET4000 - `m' didn't exist and Alt-Fn restored the X screen. Now I have Xfree86-3.1, the XF86_W32 server and an ET4000/W32i. `m' exists and Alt-Fm gives a blank screen and after that Alt-F* gives a blank screen. rlogin from another machine works but killing the X server doesn't help.
