 Hi Bryce,
 I installed the above package, the situation is somewhat better, in the
sense I'm now able to access consoles 1 to 6. It does not solve the
problem, however, because once switched to a command line console, I can
not switch back to graphic console by Ctrl-Alt-F7. If I try doing this,
I get a console with errors message and I must go back to a command line
interface, connect and do

~$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
