How is it supposed work when there are only 4 vtys with gettys on them
all?  It worked like I expected for this setup with an old version of
XFree, the SVGA server and an ET4000 - `m' didn't exist and Alt-Fn
restored the X screen.

Now I have Xfree86-3.1, the XF86_W32 server and an ET4000/W32i.  `m'
exists and Alt-Fm gives a blank screen and after that Alt-F* gives a
blank screen.  rlogin from another machine works but killing the X
server doesn't help.
