I have done a little bit of searching around on this without luck. I apologize for the weak effort, but I am sick right now and don't feel like doing a lot of reading.

Is there a way to enter a virtual console (tty?) while in an X environment? I'm looking for something like "Ctrl+Alt+F1" that is used with Linux.
 
I haven't had any luck with that. It just seems to freeze up my system and I can't get back to my xsession. Must be something screwed up on my system.

Okay, I just attempted it. "Ctrl+Alt+F1" acted like it tried to switch over to a console, but the screen just froze leaving an image of the desktop environment. "Ctrl+Alt+F9" did successfully bring me back to my live xsession though. So it's like the screen is not refreshing or something.
 
Code:
$ sudo lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series]

Oh, sorry. That doesn't show the driver... I'll find it.
 
Code:
$ kldstat | grep -i radeon

Code:
$ sysctl kern.vty
