Hi,
I hope this to be a bug and not a really bad joke. I am completely unable to switch vt with current rawhide kernel (2.6.27.4-65.fc10.x86_64) and it works with an older one (2.6.27.3-27.rc1.fc10.x86_64), there is no reaction on pressing Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6]
I have - no graphical boot, console is vesafb - default runlevel 5 - updated /etc/event.d/tty1 to be same as tty[2-6] as suggested by wwoods (I want X on vt7) - I am logged in GNOME
with last kernel from koji
[root@localhost ~]# ps ax | grep gdm 2596 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon 2657 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave --display-id /org/gnome/DisplayManager/Display1 --force-active-vt 2658 ?

vs. with older kernel
[root@localhost /]# ps ax | grep gdm 2598 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon 2658 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave --display-id /org/gnome/DisplayManager/Display1 2659 tty7 Ss+ 0:05 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-K8iWt5/database -nolisten tcp
and no errors in Xorg.log
