    It would help a lot if you would write which X server you
    are using.

    My cristall ball says me: You are using a Xsun or Xsun24 server.
    Since Sun/Solaris does not have virtual consoles this server have
    big problems with switching the console.
    With SuSE Linux 7.3/SPARC I'm only using XFree86 4.1.0, so this
    should be fixed. You can test it with the beta1 already.
