As soon as I run X (Xaccel) I lose the ability to switch
consoles.  The Alt-Fn sequence doesnt work any more.
Is there any way to switch virtual consols while running X ???
Interactive Unix (years ago) allowed this ...
Sometimes I get a n application to hang X (like netscape) 
and I hate to reset the computer just to kill off X.
Is there any control sequences to terminate X ?
