You're correct, virtual consoles don't appear on my system, either. Try rebooting without "rhgb". This works for me.
I also noticed after pressing <Ctrl><Alt><F1> that my keyboard worked as if I was on virtual console 1, but I couldn't see what was happening. That is, I could log in and see on a SSH session that I was logged in, but my screen looked like it was on the X screen - <Alt><F7>.

vi /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove rhgb from the kernel lines of the config file. Reboot.

The workaround of replacing libvgahw.a worked for me on an Intel 815. Others reported success with the Intel 865G and I believe the Intel 845.
I guess you cannot blame the libvgahw.a file entirely, but it allows the bug to show its wrath on MGA, Intel and a host of other video card types.
I filed this bug as a cross-link between and there was an interesting reply regarding overscan routines and other libraries and workarounds in the drivers that should be discussed. Sunday, according to the person responding to the bug report should be a productive meeting or presentation.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3557
Bug 2991 was one that I used to cross-reference this library pulling in problems with the X server and various drivers.
I don't know a lot about code and such, but maybe this will lead into some direction where improvements can be made.

vi /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove rhgb from the kernel lines of the config file. Reboot.
Or at boot time, type "a" and delete the "rhgb quiet" part of the kernel line. Could also add back a "3" to boot in runlevel 3 rather than 5 and see if that makes a difference.

P.S. Shouldn't this whole thread be on "fedora-list"? Doesn't look like a test problem.
