Correction, ALT/META-F1 works in the standard linux console. XFree86
supports the CTRL-ALT-F1 key binding. You'd need to hack XFree86 to
get additional tty-switching capability, since XFree86 only supports
turning the existing CTRL-ALT-Fn bindings on and off. Neil might want
to look at the xfree86 mailing lists.
