Subject:   Loss of vty access when switching into X

I have noted a problem with 3 different machines (a 486/80, a 586/100, 
and a 586/133) and 3 versions of FreeBSD (2.1.0, 3.0-snap, and 2.1.6).  
Sometimes when switching from a virtual console into X, attempts to 
switch back to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-Fn) will result in just a beep 
from the console.  This seems most prevalent if an attempt is quickly 
made to switch back (ie, I didn't mean to switch into X, said "d'oh!" and 
hit ctrl-alt-F1).

   The problem has surfaced with both XFree86 and Accelerated X.  

   Has this happened to anyone else, and/or is there a fix?

   Nick
