I've had X running beautifully on my Dell Inspiron 8200 for a while now, but noticed that I was unable to switch to a normal text console once I logged into X. I asked my trusty friend John what was going on and he said he had the same problems before. It was my X keyboard mappings that were all screwed up. Very simple fix:
doug@proteus doug $ setxkbmap us
Now I can switch back and forth between X and a normal text console to view my logging console without problems.
