(Maybe you need to be more specific as "x11" is only a metaport.)
That was such a great idea, I also just tried it. For me at least it is not
that alt-ctrl-Fn does not switch, it does. What is does not do is connect
to the monitor except for alt-ctrl-F9. So in the absence of a crash I can:
alt-ctrl-F1 - get a blank screen with the monitor displaying no signal
alt-ctrl-F2 - same thing sometimes required (for me) to make the next one
work
alt-ctrl-F9 - back to my desktop
In the event of a crash I am fairly far up the creek. No errors are logged
anywhere. I installed 9.0-RELEASE #0 and then did a pkg_add for Xorg. In my
case I would not think there is anything to backup to. I did not see any
PRs with this symptom. A similar one was deemed user error as I recall.
Google finds a few similar complaints.
The latest xorg switches to and from console with my Radeon 4650. It might
be a problem specific to the newer version of the Intel video driver.
It is definitely a problem for (at least some of) those with Intel chips,
but at least for me the VESA driver did not fix the tty switching problem.
